Whether you are an experienced, occasional or new angler, the Arizona Urban Fishing Program offers great fishing opportunities that you are sure to enjoy. There are 21 city park lakes currently participating in the Program, a partnership between the Arizona Game and Fish Department and 11 cities across the state. To ensure fishermen have a good chance of catching fish, plenty of ready-to-catch fish are stocked over a 10-month period from mid September through June; every two weeks! More than 4 million Arizona residents live within a 20-minute drive of a heavily stocked Urban Fishing Program lake. Close by and convenient, all the parks offer parking, restrooms and other amenities to make your fishing trip and park visit enjoyable.
Wildlife 20/20 provides broad strategic guidance for all department programs. It is intended to be a living document that conveys policy direction that the Arizona Game and Fish Commission has provided to the department to guide its work into the future. It will be complemented by additional plans designed to provide more specific direction, as needed.
This strategic plan reflects the references of Arizona's citizens as they relate to management of Arizona's wildlife-oriented recreation. It also reflects the biological principles involved in managing Arizona's wildlife.
This document contains laws related to wildlife in Arizona, from statehood in 1912 through 1962. This is a supplement to “Bringing Back the Game: Arizona Wildlife Management, 1912–1962,” a book of wildlife management history published by the Arizona Game and Fish Department in 2012.
Included are those bills passed by the Arizona State Legislature between 1912 and 1962, signed by the governor and incorporated as “Game and Fish Law” under the Arizona Revised Statutes. Other initiatives, referenda, and statutes pertaining to wildlife (including predatory and noxious animals) are also included, thereby providing an accessible resource for those interested in the history of Arizona’s wildlife laws.
This document is neither exhaustive nor complete. Some bills that are arcane or repetitive, or that served a housekeeping purpose, are not included. Some legislation is summarized with annotations by the author and not presented verbatim. The purpose is illustrative only and not intended to either replace the actual laws, or be taken as current law.
Since European settlement, pinyon-juniper woodlands have expanded into large portions of the southwestern United States historically occupied by grassland vegetation. Because grassland bird species are closely tied to vegetation structure, woodland expansion can substantially change the composition of breeding bird communities.
In Arizona, various nonnative trout have been stocked since the early 1900s, and trout angling remains an important component of the sportfishing industry. These nonnative rainbow trout may have contributed to the decline of Little Colorado spinedace. The overall purpose of the research was to define interactions so that impacts to both trout management and spinedace populations can be minimized. Our objectives covered 5 broad areas of potential interaction: habitat use, diet, predation, health, and distribution.
