I am leaving the midwest and going to fish in Phoenix, Az. area. Hope to meet some good people who love fishing and golfing. Feet free to comment on good ponds and lakes there.

they are noted for !

(Bass and crappie)

3/ Bartlett Lake - about 40/45 min.

(Mixed bag)

4/Saguaro Lake - about 20 min.

(Lots of BIG bass)

5/Canyon Lake - about 20 min.
