Arizona Wildlife Conservation Strategy

Lake Mohave COA

The Department has developed concepts under a strategic vision document (AGFD 2017) to help guide warmwater fisheries management in Arizona. Using these concepts, fisheries management at Lake Mohave will focus primarily on a high-quality largemouth bass and smallmouth bass fisheries, secondarily for striped bass as a featured species and thirdly as a general opportunity fishery for channel catfish. Razorback sucker are also an important component to this fishery and will be managed for as a sustained population for the purpose of providing genetic stock for other sustained populations.
