It’s rainbow time at Green Valley Lake
They’re coming back to Payson – it’s rainbow time at Green Valley Lake.
Payson residents and visitors to this marvelous mountain community can welcome back the trout to beautiful Green Valley Park on Friday, Oct. 22.
It’s a cause for a fishing-pole-in-hand celebration.
There are more than 1,000 Colorado-grown rainbow trout heading to Green Valley Lake on Friday to kick off the trout stocking season that features 11-14 inch fish delivered every two weeks.
This year, there’s a rainbow bonus: an extra 50 percent more trout have been ordered.
“Fall is a wonderful time to visit the rim country, see the colors, and relax and fish along the grassy shorelines of this popular urban fishery just a mile west of Highway 87 on Main Street,” said Urban Fishing Program Manager Eric Swanson.
Swanson explained that the fish stocking program at Green Valley is different from all other Urban Fishing Program waters. Rainbow trout are the only species stocked by the Game and Fish Department during an eight month season that starts in mid October and continues through early May.
“No other fish species are stocked at Green Valley, however good populations of bass, crappie and sunfish can be found in this productive lake ecosystem,” Swanson pointed out.
Trout can be caught on small spinners and spoons, by fly fishermen using nymphs or wet flies, and by baits such as scented dough baits, worms or salmon eggs.
Remember to use lighter line in the 2- to 6-pound range, smaller hooks and a minimal amount of weight. Limits on trout are 4 per day for licensed anglers and two trout for children under age 14.
