Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:34 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Flagstaff

Flagstaff fishing revolves around a network of cold, clear lakes and creeks scattered across the Coconino Plateau. At over 7,000 feet, these waters stay cooler than most Arizona fisheries, creating reliable action for trout as well as warmwater species like bass, walleye, and panfish. Key destinations include Upper and Lower Lake Mary, Ashurst Lake, Mormon Lake in wet years, Kinnikinick Lake, Dogtown Lake, and nearby Oak Creek.

Seasonal patterns drive most success around Flagstaff. Spring ice-out through early summer is prime for trout in Ashurst, Kinnikinick, Dogtown, and other stocked lakes. As water temps climb in June, trout slide deeper or hold near inlets, springs, and wind-blown shorelines. During summer, low-light windows—first and last light and overcast days—produce best, while mid-day action often shifts to bass, walleye, and panfish in Lake Mary and similar reservoirs. Fall cool-down re-energizes trout and smallmouth, with fish feeding heavily before winter. Winter can bring partial ice and slower bites, but sunny afternoons still offer opportunities, especially on Lower Lake Mary and Oak Creek.

Habitat types around Flagstaff range from shallow, windswept reservoirs to intimate creeks. Lake Mary (especially Upper Lake Mary) is a long, relatively shallow body with flooded timber, rocky points, and weedlines that attract largemouth bass, walleye, catfish, and panfish. Ashurst and Kinnikinick are classic high-country trout lakes: open basins ringed by gently sloping shorelines, where wind creates productive current lanes and concentrates food. Dogtown and similar lakes offer a mix of submerged timber and shallow flats ideal for shore anglers. Oak Creek, a short drive south of town, is a clear, freestone-style stream where rainbows and browns hold in pocket water, undercut banks, and deeper pools.

Techniques and tactics are straightforward but benefit from matching each water. On Flagstaff trout lakes, shore anglers do well with PowerBait or salmon eggs on sliding sinker rigs, small nightcrawlers under a bubble, or inline spinners and spoons cast along drop-offs and wind-blown banks. In early and late season, fan-cast spoons and 1/8–1/4 oz marabou jigs in natural or dark colors across points and shallow flats. Fly fishers should work olive and black woolly buggers, leech patterns, and small nymphs under indicators, especially when fish cruise just off the bank.

For bass and walleye in Lake Mary, focus on rocky points, submerged wood, and the first significant break from shoreline shallows into deeper water. Use small crankbaits, swimbaits, and soft-plastic worms around cover during low light. As the sun climbs, slow-roll jigs or Carolina rigs along edges and deeper humps. Walleye often bite best in low-light periods or on breezy days; drag live worms or finesse plastics along bottom with just enough weight to maintain contact.

Panfish such as bluegill, perch, and crappie are perfect for quick action near Flagstaff. Target coves, beaver huts, and submerged brush with small pieces of worm or mealworm under a float, or downsized jigs tipped with plastic grubs. Scale down line and hooks for more bites in Flagstaff’s clear water; 4–6 lb test fluorocarbon or light mono is ideal.

Across the region, success comes from staying mobile, watching wind direction, and keying on temperature and clarity. Work windward shores where food and oxygen stack up, fish early and late when waters are clearest and calmest, and adjust depth frequently until you mark or hook fish. With diverse lakes and streams within a short drive, Flagstaff, Arizona fishing offers year-round variety for trout, bass, walleye, and panfish in a cool mountain setting.
