Chevelon Canyon - Chevelon Canyon Lake to the confluence of Woods Canyon and Willow Springs Canyon COA

Chevelon Canyon Creek upstream of Chevelon Canyon Lake will be managed primarily as a Blue Ribbon-Trophy coldwater fishery for brown trout and rainbow trout. The secondary management objective is for self-sustaining populations of native fish including roundtail chub, speckled dace, bluehead sucker, and Little Colorado sucker. Special regulations include a two trout daily bag limit with artificial fly and lure-only restrictions to sustain a Blue-Ribbon Trophy wild population of brown trout. Non-native warmwater centrarchids will be removed whenever found.
