Fish at Hulsey Lake

0 stocked · 0 confirmed present

Hulsey Lake is stocked with rainbow trout by the Arizona Game and Fish Department in the spring and early summer. The lake's surface area increased to five acres, and its deepest point became 20 feet after a 2015 project. Two fishing piers were added to improve angler access.

About Hulsey Lake

Hulsey Lake is usually inaccessible from November to mid-April due to snow and ice. The lake gets weedy in summer months, and high pH levels prevent stocking as the season progresses. There is typically no overwinter survival because the lake frequently has a winter kill. (en.wikipedia.org, accessed October 5, 2026)
