The desert is almost in full bloom.  Arizona has to be one of the most beautiful state to fish in right now.  Spring is tough to beat for scenary and backdrops!

Lake Pleasant is fishing great.  Largemouth are in the shallows and sight fishing is the game of choice.  Hunting fish in the brush is the best technique, and casting baits or flies that are visual are really important so you can see the action go down.  We had an 11 pound fish on conventional gear and a 7 pound fish on a fly rod last week back to back, both sight fished.  This is an exciting time to be fishing! 

Barlett Lake is starting to pick up.  Action has been good for numbers of fish.  Look for the best bite to still be on reaction baits, cranks and spinnerbaits.

Roosevelt is starting to really turn on!  We’re seeing good numbers of largemouth, and some big ones mixed in, moving up in masses in to the shallow brush.  Senkos, flippin, and some topwater action is the deal right now.  This lake should only get better and better!

Saguaro and Canyon Lakes have been fishing good.  Fish are starting to chase bait, and some giants are on the prowl looking to spawn.  Look for these lakes to really turn on this week.
