Fishing has been fantastic throughout Arizona!  As usuall, the hotter the weather the better the fishing, and the fishing is starting to really break loose.  The summer bite should be off the hook!

Temperatures in the desert are already above 100 degrees, and that has our water temps skyrocketing in to the 70’s, and the fish are starting to chase bait and become active. 

The topwater bite at Roosevelt is crazy right now, with lots of numbers of 2-3 pounders.  There are some bigger fish as well coming out, some on topwater, some flippin brush in the rivers.  The bite is pretty wide open, that you probably catch fish on anthing you want to.

Lake Pleasant is coming to the end of spawn, finally.  The bait is starting to show up, and the fish are starting to crash.  We have had some explosive surface action days on stripers and largemouth this week.  This bite is just starting, and what most people are looking for in this heat.  Another week or two and this should be lights out awesome!

Alamo Lake and Lake Havasu have been been fantastic as well.  Alamo has had a solid flip bite and jig bite going for a few weeks now.  Not a lot of size, but good numbers of fish.  Lake Havasu still has fish spawning, mostly largemouth, and the worm bite for postspawners has been great!

Trout fishing is heating up in the high country.  Lake Mary near Flagstaff has been ridiculous.  50-100 fish days are common right now, with fish eating everything from dries to streamers.  There’s not a lot of water left in this lake, so try to make it up in the next 6 weeks before it starts its drying out cycle.

The pike fishing at Upper Lake Mary is heating up as well.  We had some fantastic fishin this week on jerkbaits and swimbaits.  The fish are bunched up chasing perch, and starting to get very aggressive.  Look for this bit to strengthen in the upcoming heat!

It’s hot, I know, but so is the fishing!  Get out, take a swim if you have to, and catch a bunch!!!
