I’m honestly not sure. I’ve only tried it out that one time. Wouldn’t surprise me, as it’s connected to the same waterway as Bartlett.

The closest place to me is “Wild Horse West” on the way to Lake Pleasant. I believe there’s a couple places in the East Valley as well.

I’ve always had the best luck at N67th and W Acoma Dr in Glendale. The down stream side is the end of the line, just before the water treatment plant, so a lot of fish get trapped there.

@@fishingjunkie5436 I’ll have to give it try

Bring corn or white bread if going for carp

Thanks!

Thanks!

I looked them up before I went to the lake. It’s ok to use live crawfish for bait, you just can’t transport them from one body of water to another.

@@fishingjunkie5436 thank you, I learned something new... my appoligies

No apologies needed. The live bait regs can be super confusing. I’ve had to read through them a couple of times on various topics. Tight lines.

Thanks!

I’ve actually used a round one a few times, and never caught anything lol. The net ones do seem to be most popular.

Thanks!

Personally, I like a 6ft Ugly Stick made by Shakespeare. It’s affordable, durable, and can be used for a range of species - except maybe trout. Trout bite really lightly, and 6ft Ugly Sticks are a little heavier of a rod. Ugly Sticks often come with decent reels as well.

Welcome to the desert BTW.

@Fishing Junkie Man I appreciate it, I will definitely venture in to a Sportsmans Warehouse or Bass Pro Shops since they may have them and also ask around. I'll miss the beaches but cant wait to meet the lakes of the west.🌵

Best of luck! Aside from the local lakes, there’s also the Lower Salt River. It’s great in the Fall in Winter after float season ends.

Welcome to AZ.

Thanks!

Just upstream form N 67th Ave & W Acoma Dr… though I’ve had a lot more luck on the downstream side of 67th. Particularly if I’m targeting grass carp.

Glad to hear it’s picking up. I was last there in March and nothing was hitting. Water was still too cold. Keep me posted if you pick up a few more this weekend.

That’s a really good point. I think no matter the body of water in AZ, someone is going to say the fish aren’t safe to eat out of it. I’ve kind of always thought they just want all the fish for themselves.

Thanks!

Thanks! I figured I could have pet one if I really wanted to

Thanks! It’s been a while since I’ve caught one. I need to get back out there.

I didn’t see any this year, but the last couple of years they have all been around the Bootlegger rec site.

Thanks!

For sure! Merry Christmas

Looking at the stocking schedule, they should by tomorrow… www.azgfd.com/fishing/stockschedule/

@@fishingjunkie5436 hope so 🎣

Good to know, thanks!

Wild Horse West. It’s kind of on the way there

@@fishingjunkie5436 is that a minnow?

@@gottgaame Sorry just saw this… Correct, a live minnow. Wish I could find some bigger ones

This was at the canals around the farms in Arlington, AZ. I’ve yet to see any bass, but there are lots of catfish and carp.

@@fishingjunkie5436 thanks I’ll have to check it out I thought it was by pir at first but then you said Arlington . You ever bass fish at chaparral or at pir

Thanks! Sounds like fun. Be sure to bring some yellow lures lol. Tight lines!

Thanks for the Sub!

Lol, I definitely learned me lesson when it came to those fins when I was young too. Good times.

Not sure how I missed this, but this was at Surprise Lake…

@@fishingjunkie5436 Okay thx my man and Tight Lines

Thanks!

9 was right about the time we caught the last 2. Anything above 10lbs would be fun
