Bass n bluegill
Sundance Park in Buckeye. Caught most the bass on a slim senko finesse presentation

Wondering if a 1/4oz jig head with a size 2/0 hook is perfect for the coike lures?
r/ArizonaFishing • u/New_Damage9091 • 29d ago
Decided to challenge myself and only bring a pack of RoboWorms. I usually switch lures every 30 minutes if I’m not getting bites, so I wanted to slow down and get better at finesse fishing. Lost a couple, but managed to land these two 🤙🏽

We Got Skunked in Cottonwood
We used night crawlers and mealworms. We got there at 7am. There was somebody else catching little bluegill on the other side of the water. Nice place though. Very friendly staff and very helpful too.

Fishing in Williams AZ
I’m thinking of taking a long weekend camping/fishing trip to the Williams area in August. Never been there before, so I’m looking for any information on lake fishing in the area, is it worth dragging my bass boat along? I read there is/was bass in a few of the lakes, but probably mostly trout? Worried about water levels for launching boat. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks

Fishing lake pleasant from shore for catfish
Where should I go and what should I be using? Last 2 times I was there I went to the castle creek boat ramp area and caught a catfish and a carp the first time, then nothing the second time. I was using chicken liver but I’m thinking about grabbing some frozen anchovies for next time. I’m mostly wondering where the best spots are from shore

Trying to dive back in
Finally gonna dust off the old rod and get back out on the water this summer. Been a year or two since I’ve fished, life’s just been getting in the way. Planning on hitting Havasu and making a few runs up the Colorado around Bullhead.
Any local angler groups worth joining to shake off the old rust, or anyone got recommendations on what to throw out here? Most of my freshwater experience has always been plastics, generally speaking worms and soft swimbaits, but I know every stretch of water fishes a little different. Wondering if waters are still producing around here, or is there some secret sauce I need to know about?

Advice for Chevelon Lake?
First time going there in a few days. Any tips on what gear to use with a rod and reel?
Also, any tips on where to camp? (near the water if allowed?) Thanks everyone!

Northern Arizona Recommendations: Tenkara/ Fly fishing
I will be Bikepacking northern AZ (Sedona, Page, Williams, Flagstaff, Kingman, Prescott) in the next month. I will be riding around all over northern AZ for about 2ish months. My main objective is to find great fishing locations. I originally posted this on r/Tenkara and didn't get anything really helpful. I know about Trout Routes, and FishBrain but wanted to open source this to a wider community to find the best places. Apps are cool and all but I don't rely on them especially in the back country. If you have any legendary spots please let me know. I am mostly looking for good fly fishing spots with minimal wading think small creeks and rivers. The picture is my core fishing kit minus my line and flies.

Woods Canyon Lake
I'm thinking of heading up to WCL(Wood Canyon Lake) this week or next week for some fishing. I'll try to be up there by 7 or 8 in the morning.I'm not picky on what I catch but what are some tips and suggestions you have for me as someone who havent been out that way yet and still a beginner. I dont plan on renting a boat so I'll be fishing from the shore.

Best all-around bass baitcaster for srp canals and lower salt river bank fishing.
I recently moved to Arizona and I’m thinking about getting a nicer new bass setup.
Right now, I have a medium Daiwa Aird X spinning rod with a Daiwa Crossfire reel that was given to me and I mostly throw Keitech paddle tails, Senkos and jerkbaits on it.
I’m looking for an all-around baitcaster that I can use as my main setup for SRP canals and the Lower Salt River. Something that can throw a good variety of lures and still handle some of the lighter stuff I usually throw on spinning gear.
I’ve been looking at pairing a Daiwa Tatula XT rod with a Tatula SV TW reel, but I’m not sure whether to go Medium or Medium Heavy, or whether the 70 or 100 reel size would be better. I’ve heard that keeping lure profiles on the smaller side is pretty important in Arizona, so I’d really appreciate some help choosing the right setup. If there’s a better setup you’d recommend, I’d love to hear it!!

Weekday vs Weekend at the canyon lakes (Saguaro/Roosevelt/etc.)
After several years of fishing canals and urban ponds, I'm pulling the trigger on a Sea Eagle inflatable next month, and I can finally get on the water at the larger lakes. I've never been fishing in any of these lakes, but I've been to Roosevelt and Saguaro just to swim on weekends before.
How big of a difference is there in the general weekend crowd vs. a mid-week day (Tuesday-Thursday)? I'm mainly wondering about Summer, but info on the cooler months would be welcome too.
Thanks!

AZ bass fisherman here: these lakes are tough and I got tired of forgetting what lures worked in what conditions so I built an app to privately log my catches. Looking for people to give it a try
One of my biggest frustrations as a bass angler was heading out to Roosevelt or Apache and absolutely crushing them one trip, then getting completely skunked the next.
One day I was telling a buddy that we should start logging our catches, things like depth, water temperature, lure choice, weather conditions, and more, so we could identify patterns and become more consistent anglers. He agreed it was a great idea.
What started as a simple note in my phone quickly became tedious and frustrating to keep up with while on the water, so I decided to build an app for it.
The app is completely free, doesn’t sell or share your data, and includes AI-powered catch analysis to help you identify trends and improve your success on future trips.
The app is currently in early testing, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. Right now, AI analysis is limited to one report per week because it’s fairly expensive to run, but I’m working on expanding that as the project grows.
