Where you'll Fish
Depending on the time you have available, a few hours to a few days --- you will fish on one of the following lakes: Roosevelt, Apache, Canyon, Saguaro or Bartlett.

All are within a 30 minute to 2 1/2 hour drive from the Phoenix - Scottsdale area.

Each is a unique oasis, a startling patch of blue flung casually amid rugged peaks and shadowed canyons of this arid land. Each has it's own spectacular personality.

You will fish hard but you'll also be able to enjoy cactus, intriguing landscapes, and the chance to see Bald Eagles, Deer, Javelina (wild pigs), Quail, Waterfowl, and even Wild Burro (we call them desert canaries).

Saguaro Lake Marina

This is just the main part of the lake and viewing the dam.

This young man caught this 9lb Large mouth bass with a Rico topwater bait. At day break. His biggest bass at the time 2002.

Harley Reno- Fly fishing on Saguaro Lake 2002- using a 6' 5wt fly rod and a Dr. Rememdy fly.

 

These two boats are what you will be fishing out of on one of the many lakes we guide on. These are 19' Ski Barge, Neal has modified the insides so you are fishing off of a front and back decks. Both are equiped with Mercury 115HP & 125HP engines all of the latest electonics. These boats are very stable when fishing out of them. So come and book one of our fishing trips. Some of our best trips are in the Spring time end of Febuary thru May.

 

 

 

 

Paul's largemouth bass was his very first in his life. He is alittle taller than the bass in the picture. This was on Sagauro Lake in March 2004

This is Paul's 2nd bass he has caught in his life. As you can see he still has a grin from the first bass he caught
