Fish species in Roadrunner Park Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Roadrunner Park Lake is a lake in Maricopa County, Arizona and covers about 2 acres, reaches about 8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 6.4 acre-feet.

The small size of Roadrunner Park Lake makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Roadrunner Park Lake, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Roadrunner Park Lake include Largemouth Bass.

Start the largemouth bass search on Roadrunner Park Lake by trying to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

For an first pass, bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

The plan for Roadrunner Park Lake starts here: make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

During the first hour on Roadrunner Park Lake, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Before moving far on Roadrunner Park Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

When working Roadrunner Park Lake, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
