Trophy Lake is a reservoir in Navajo County, Arizona and covers about 9 acres, reaches about 17.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 105 acre-feet.
For a first pass on Trophy Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Trophy Lake include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.
To begin with bluegill on Trophy Lake, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
When largemouth bass are the target on Trophy Lake, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
The first channel catfish pass on Trophy Lake should fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
The early check on Trophy Lake should stay simple: 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.
To narrow down Trophy Lake, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
A focused trip to Trophy Lake begins this way: 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.
A direct approach on Trophy Lake works like this: 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.
