Hey all, I’m gonna be in Phoenix in a couple of weeks for work (Scottsdale specifically) but I plan on spending a few extra days afterwords and was looking to fish a bit. I’m not too picky on what I target, but I never say no to fat bass. If anyone has any tips or locations within a couple of hours of the city I would really appreciate it. Thanks all, Fish on

Been there a couple of times fly fishing. Once on Lake Pleasant with guide, it is a big lake. The second time the guide took us to a huge senior complex with very many ponds surrounded by sidewalks. We did spot and stalk carp fishing with fly rods. Had a ball and it was the only time my wife did not complain about me not bringing home any of my catch. There are supposed to be some good streams up by Sodona, but they were a little too technical for three of us and the guide to try to fish.

There are “urban lakes” all over the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. . Google Arizona Game and Fish website for locations. Best bass fishing near Scottsdale is Roosevelt Lake. About a two hour drive. Other nearby lakes are Saguaro (closest), Bartlett, and Pleasant.

Check out the Salt River at the Water Users bridge . It's not far from Phoenix, within an hour. It is stocked with trout this time of the year. You will see several people fishing from the bank and several people fly fishing. If you get there early you may see the wild horses in the area and also in the river.

There are some good places. Lake Pleasant, Bartlett, Roosevelt to name a few. Most require boat but can take bass from shore. If fishing from shore I’d choose Barlett. Had bass, and some good pan fish. Have fun

Excellent trout fishing all along Salt River from dam (that makes Saguaro Lake) to convergence with the Verde. Best spots are just below the bridge. All standard small lures and baits are good, but floating power bait (rainbow glitter my personal favorite) with small split shot 18 inches up the line (adjust weight and location to fit water speed). Less is better. 2lb test recommended.
