Goldwater Lake, located just south of downtown Prescott, has experienced a fish die-off similar to recent fish kills at three smaller lakes in the Prescott National Forest. ADOT advises anglers and other members of the public not to collect or consume fish they find that appear to be dead or dying. Currently, only rainbow trout have been affected at Goldwater Lake. Game and Fish believe the situation is naturally occurring and will subside as temperatures decrease and the aquatic vegetation becomes dormant. The department is working closely with the City to investigate the situation and remove dead fish.
