Salt River Lakes Project report
The three Salt River Reservoirs (Saguaro, Canyon, and Apache) got another boost on Monday, June 30.
Research biologists Bill Stewart reports that on top of the more than 50,000 one-inch northern strain largemouth bass that were stocked into Saguaro on May 14, an additional 23,000 one- to two-inch Florida strain largemouth bass and nearly 1,000 five-inch smallmouth bass were released into Saguaro this past Monday (6/30/08).
About an hour after Saguaro Lake received its share of bass, Canyon Lake also received 23,000 one- to two-inch Florida strain largemouth and 1,300 five-inch smallmouth bass to go on top of the more than 50,000 northern strain largemouth bass that were stocked on May 14.
While this was all going on, Apache Lake was stocked with just over 65,000 one- to two-inch northern strain bringing the total spring stocking of fingerling largemouth bass to just over 110,000 at this lake.
