We still need volunteers at Canyon Lake
We still need volunteers to help build Pisces pyramids at Canyon Lake to help improve this classic fishery along the Salt River. The department has an immediate need for some more people for Sunday, Nov. 18. To volunteer, contact Natalie Robb with Game and Fish at (480) 324-3541.

Volunteers are needed to help at Canyon Lake from Nov. 17 to Dec. 16 when the Arizona Game and Fish Department will be installing artificial habitats at strategic locations on the lake bottom while the water level is down 50 feet for conducting routine maintenance on the dam.

Volunteers will be helping move tree limbs, cement blocks, and wooden pallets to construct Pisces pyramids (artificial habitats). Work hours will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.On Oct. 30, the department bolstered Canyon Lake’s smallmouth population by stocking some bronzebacks imported from Illinois. In mid November, Canyon will also receive its first installment of largemouth bass.

Another part of the Salt River Lakes Project was stocking Saguaro Lake with largemouth bass this week.
