Mittry Lake

Location Description:
Records / History:
 In 1951, the Arizona Game and Fish Commission and the Secretary of the Interior (acting through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation) entered into a lease and cooperative agreement to develop and manage a portion of the Mittry Lake area. In 1971, the U. S. Department of Interior gave the Arizona Game and Fish Department administrative authority over 3,575 acres of land and water at the lake for the management of fish and wildlife, including migratory birds.
<br><br>
Management emphasis on Mittry Lake Wildlife Area is to optimize the wildlife habitat potential for present and future generations for public hunting and other wildlife-oriented recreation. The management emphasis is based on the 1951 lease and cooperative agreement, which allows for the establishment of a public shooting area, waterfowl resting ground and provisions to improve conditions for the propagation of fish.

Climate:

CAUTION: Temperatures vary from 30°F in December and January to 120°F in June and July. Rainfall averages about three inches per year, with most occurring during the winter months. Wintertime temperatures can get very cold, especially at night

Type of Wildlife /
Type of Hunting:
 Mittry Lake Wildlife Area provides riparian, wetland, and aquatic habitat for many wildlife species.

Birds: Desert-scrub and riparian woodland habitats are home to diverse desert wildlife. Neotropical birds find the area attractive. Riparian birds like the yellow-billed cuckoo, summer tanager, and the federally endangered southwestern willow flycatcher may use the area.

Yuma clapper rails nest on site. Surveys have also revealed California black rails, and Virginia rails nesting along the shore. The marsh also supports American coot, common moorhen, western least bittern, and pied-billed grebe.

Winter users include duck species, sora, American white pelican, double-crested cormorant and northern harrier. Year-round users include black-crowned night-heron, great blue heron, snowy egret, osprey, and many others.

Mammals: Mammals that frequent the area include mule deer, javelina, bobcats and even wild burros.

The most common species encountered in Mittry Lake are largemouth bass, flathead and channel catfish, bluegill, tilapia, crappie and carp.
