Lake Pleasant Arizona. Lake Pleasant is a popular desert lake for fisherman and boaters because of its location.Lake Pleasant offers excellent Large Mouth Bass fishing year round along with Stripped Bass and White Bass. You can catch Channel Catfish all day long at Lake Pleasant along the shore or in a boat with whatever bait you have to offer. Lake Pleasant is also famous for large Flathead Catfish. Of coarse there Carp do to it being a warm bodies of water, but on the other had you also have excellent Crappie fishing. The North Side of the Lake "Castle Creek" is a favorite spot for Largemouth and Stripped Bass. The west side of the lake is often restricted do to a Bald Eagle Habitat. If your fishing I would recommend docking as far north as possible at Castle Creek or one of the many other northward boat ramps.
