Mogollon Rim Lakes
At a glance
Lake levels are extremely low this year due to a lack of winter and spring snowfall, but fishing should still continue to be good. Chevelon Lake is the exception and completely filled this year, so launching a boat should be fairly easy. As water levels are low, water temps are generally higher. Check the stocking schedule and choose your spot accordingly.

- Balance leeches under an indicator has been the go-to set up for the lakes.
- Grab a 9ft 5wt, but consider something lighter if it’s raining and windy. A 6wt is a good choice.
