This is the time of year when the campgrounds close. Check with the Coconino National Forest while planning your trip if you plan to camp at the lake. Fall is an excellent time to target trout on Ashurst Lake. For bait anglers, PowerBait and worms fished on the bottom are the best approach. A slow retrieve with small lures such as Joe’s flies, Kastmasters, Panther Martins, Rooster Tails, and Mepps are all excellent choices. Good fly patterns include: Simi-seal Leeches and Wooly Buggers (#10 bead headed black, brown, or olive), Zebra Midge, and # 12 Prince Nymph, #14- #12 Pheasant tail. Only boats with a single 10-horsepower motor (or less) or a single electric motor are allowed on Ashurst Lake. The limit is 4 trout. The lake is about 80% full and water clarity is excellent. Small northern pike are being caught. Northern pike were illegally introduced and are not managed for in Ashurst Lake. Pike are unlimited in this lake, please kill any northern pike caught.
