Hello from sunny Southern AZ

[AZFisherman19]

Been fishing all my life (a few years). Still trying to figure out desert fishing, but the fishing in AZ is awesome. Looking forward to learning more from everyone and helping new anglers where I can. Tight lines y’all!

Welcome to Bass Resource! My daughter lives in Gilbert and last August my son-in-law surprised me with a guided trip on Saguaro while I was visiting. What a beautiful place to fish!

Howdy, Steve. I fished a highland reservoir in Wyoming once for trout. I caught a lot of trout, but fishing in a place without plants was strange for me.

For sure. I got the trout bug when we vacationed in Colorado every year growing up. Originally from TX where the fish are bigger. I would definitely vouch for the amazing fishing in the desert. We have a ton of species. My next big one I want to do is Pike and Walleye up in Northern AZ.

Greetings All and Welcome AZF,

Howdy Neighbor! The AZ Game and Fish web site may be helpful as there is a good deal of information available there. Southern AZ has some interesting angling opportunities as does the rest of the state. AZ has a very wide range of angling environments to enjoy. Yes, trout and pike up in Northern AZ are thrilling. Currently there are still some good trout opportunities all about Southern AZ too. Due to the recent issues at our AZ trout hatcheries this year's stocking has been obtained from out of state sources thus some more premium sized trout (greater than 14 inch) are available. So go find some fun while the conditions permit as we are at the tail end of the stocking schedule.

Just FYI, this past weekend was some awesome multi-species catching. The trout were willing to play along with large mouth bass and different sun fish. A good time! Oh also I recently had to run some errands up in Phoenix. After getting it all sorted there was a bit of time available for me to try some canal fishing. Something I'd wanted to try but didn't get an opportunity till just recently. Great fun tossing a simple curly tailed grub on a jig. Several five plus pound tilapia with a few large mouth bass for good measure. Not bad for just under a couple of hours of strolling and casting. A heck of way to test out a very easy on the budget $10 dollar Wally World spinning combo. Yeah, not my first choice but it was functional and it worked well through all that drag peeling fun. The experiment was a success. Spring has sprung and the fishing / catching is good! Cheers!
