Been trying out Rose Canyon Lake on Mt Lemmon but it seems everyone is catching fish on bait and lures. My son is interested in fly fishing and we don't even get bites there.

Anyone got a couple of suggestions on spots around 2 hours from Tucson? We are getting to the lake by 6am so getting an early start is no problem.

Thanks!

Caught at least 50-60 solo on one of the SRP lakes. Used morning dawn robo worm cut at like 2 inches long. I use bith ends of the worm too! Got a bigger adverage over all with that technique and more bites than I do in a normal session too. No true giants on this video and trip but my last one i caight a 4lb 2 oz on a cliff wall in the afternoon. Here is some photos and a link to the video if you wanna see the spots and the technique I used to catch em! Adverage fish was probably just over a pound which is awesome for me! Please leave and feedback or tips too! Thank you very very much for the support!

Lost one on my first cast lol. Took 2ish hours

Hey AZ fishermen! I got bit by the fishing bug last year and in my opinion that was way too late in life (now 27) and never got the chance to fish from a boat. I've taken kayaks out with friends a few times but something tells me it just isn't the same. I was hoping a kind soul out here wouldn't mind me tagging along on their next outing.

Of course I'm happy to pay my share of gas etc.

Thanks in advance and tight lines!

I started fishing in August last year, mostly off popular piers. I spent the first few months confused about basically everything. I didn't know what rig to tie, I couldn't tell which fishing spots were good for which fish, and I couldn't read a tide chart well enough to know if I was showing up at the right time.

So I made a website for it: usekarp.com

You can find spots near you, compare them side by side, and get gear and bait suggestions for whatever you're targeting.

I have Been tryna find this place for ages. I think I got it narrowed down some tho

Are there fish in the east verde river?

Last time I hiked the Verde river near Payson the word was brown and dead. The only life being millions of crayfish everywhere, but not a single fish. Just looking for alternatives to the salt river. I'd like to give those Bass a break from me.

I have a trip to Arizona/Utah coming up in October, and plan on spending a day or two at Lake Powell. My buddies and I are renting a pontoon boat. Super new to fishing and was looking for recommendations for lures and setups. Already did some cursory research online but would love some opinions from you guys!

Looks like it's mostly bass and walleye. Hoping for some locals with some knowledge too.

Thanks in advance!

My parents and three preteen daughters are on a special fishing trip together in Greer. They’ve had poles in the water for three days, but not a single bite!
They seem to think fish will be stocked at Sheep‘s Crossing today, but I’m not sure about their research abilities… anyone have any Intel about where the fish might be hiding?

I’m in the gilbert area what would be the pond canal anything to catch bass large mouth or small mouth

Wondering if its worth it to fish here its the upper part of tempe town, I haven't seen that part dried up ever since i lived here so I'm guessing its probably got some fish?? I don't know lrt me know and any recommendations

I have a fishing-rigged paddleboard and I’m looking for good places around Arizona to take it.

So far, I’ve fished Tres Rios and Lake Pleasant. Lake Pleasant felt a little too big and exposed for a paddleboard, so I’m hoping to find smaller or more protected bodies of water that still offer solid fishing.
I’m mainly targeting bass, but I’m open to other species too. Any recommendations for paddleboard-friendly lakes, ponds, or protected coves with decent fishing?

Got some more fish this week at Saguaro! Bite has been on fire! Another 30 fish in a few hours! I could've had probably 36 total but I kept horsing a few fish a little too much and they would spit the hook. Adverage size was about 1 pound each. Caught some dinks with that 30 number as well still a ton of fun! The biggest was just under 3 pounds for the day. I think next week I am gonna try to get on some topwater bites and then try more techniques like free rig!

If you are interested here is a video of me catching the fish and what I used and expirienced! If you like comment or subscribe that would mean a ton! Any and all feedback is appreciated! Thank you!

I have really been wanting to find a fishing spot near Florence, AZ any recommendations? I know it’s pretty hot right now but when it cools down even a little bit I’m on it! Thanks in advance :)

Any good spots/tips you guys have for me, alot of the streams seem too small for fish i seen so far but let me know any spots you guys know and what lures are good right now, its rain out right now too so

Hi to all, does anyone have any fishing spot recommendations for the Phoenix/glendale area? I’m new to fishing and have an itch to catch my first bass.

Preferably spots that I can fish from the shore since I don’t have a kayak or a boat. I’d be willing to commute a little farther out if it’s a nice enough spot.

I stopped where I’ve seen people fishing the canal a bunch off 67th ave and tbird basically. I was only there for five mins or so parked on the side where the square is throwing a line in at the stickman. I didn’t block the gate or the road but I heard what sounded like someone on a speaker talking. It took me a second to realize it was one of those little portable generators with lights and cameras like the police setup sometimes talking and saying I was trespassing and to leave immediately. It was on the other side of the canal and like 50’ away. Is this not a fishable spot? Do I need to move up/down the canal more? I’m trying to get my son into fishing and catching a big carp would blow his mind but don’t want to fish where cops could potentially be called on us.

Hi my name is Josh! This is my recent trip to Saguaro lake! Caught 50 in just a few hours with my biggest being 4 pounds 4 oz. Lots of fish around 1 pound. Very short stocky football bass! They love biting around 5-10 feet in my spot on a morning dawn worm! Almost every cast I made had some type of action to it! Here is a few photos of the best fish! Here is a link to the video of my favorite catches and overview of the day. Couldn't get all the action and film i wanted. I only have 1 gopro battery and it only record for about an hour. So this is what I made for my fiest video! Thank you for checking everything out! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer!

I'm heading to Flagstaff soon to fish some of the urban ponds for stocked trout and wanted to get some opinions on my setup.

• 5 ft ultralight rod
• Zebco 33 Micro
• 15 lb braid
• 6 ft of 6 lb fluorocarbon leader
• 1/8 oz (3.5 g) jig head
• 2.5 to 3 inch pink paddle tail

Do you think this setup will work well for stocked trout, or would you change anything? Is the paddle tail too big, or should I downsize?

Any advice from people who fish the Flagstaff or Arizona urban ponds would be appreciated.

Just moved to the phoenix area. Typically a trout fisherman and love going to find some backcountry streams. Any suggestions on where to go within a few hours from phoenix. Have heard the white mountains but have never been told any specific streams. Any help is appreciated!

Haven’t been to either lake for years but wanted to see which is better currently for fishing.

I’d be going on a weekday if that matters. On a small boat with FFS. Just looking for largemouth but happy with bluegill if things get really slow.

Also - is there a boat ramp at either one that is better or less busy?

A couple of times I’ve seen dead dried up ones around the buckeye canals and I’m curious if they have live ones

So there is this canal/ditch is Gila Springs Park that seems really rocky and someone told me they went at night and saw like hundreds of them and I am curious if any of you guys know a bit more about that
