What a beautiful week!  We’ve been in the 80’s all week in the desert, and fishing is really picking up!

Lake Pleasant is seeing a ton of fish moving shallow to gear up for spawn.  This is the best time of the year to get out and do some sight fishing for largemouth.  Fishing this time of the year is a lot like hunting, you’re stalking the bass in the shallows and casting to fish you see.  This is very exciting stuff!  There are also some deeper stripers starting to stage out in pre-spawn.  These are easiest to get on bait, as we’re seeing fish as deep as 150 feet.

Lake Havasu has continued to kick out some incredible smallmouth fishing.  Large numbers of 3-4 pound smallmouth are littered all over the lake.  This is mostly sight fishing as well, but on the windy days they’ll take reaction baits well.

Roosevelt Lake and Alamo Lake continue to be a little tough.  It’s only a matter of time before these pop, and when they do it’s going to be lights out!

Trout fishing has continued to be a little slow due to run-off conditions.  If the weather stays warm, look for the high country stuff to come in to play in the next couple weeks!

Make sure you got your shorts and flip flops on this time of the year!  It is incredible weather to fish in.  We’ll see you on the water!
