What's the best place to go to catch a walleye in Arizona? I've seen a few lakes including Powell but catch rates are low.

Hello I've been an Arizona resident my whole life - 27 years. I have also never been fishing and would like to start fishing. I live in Tucson and mostly my connection with the outdoors comes from backpack and hunting, both of which I started late in life as an adult a few years ago. Now I think it is time to get a little taste for fishing. I don't think I'd have the schedule to be a...

Anyone been out to the black river near where it meets the white river and fished for smallmouth bass? They were pretty small last time I went out but I caught a ton of them.

I'd like to catch some walleye. I have a few days to camp out. I've tried Long Lake before, and Powell. Anywhere this time of year an option?

I was hoping someone could help confirm if either of these lakes allow you to run a 9.9 motor above a no wake speed? I know the lakes are quite a bit difference in size but I am trying to pick a first time in a boat fishing trip for my boys. The main reason I want somewhere to run above no wake is this is my first time with a used motor I purchased. Also if anyone has other lake suggestions...

Hey my name is dillon robinson Im interested in finding a fishing buddy I live in Phoenix

Howdy y'all, I'm moving from Texas to the Phoenix area for 8 months. I mostly catfished back in Texas, but I am down to try new things fishing wise. What lakes are the most well known for big catfish? Is shore fishing viable for these catfish? What bait should I use here? In Texas we'd hook the biggest live shad we could find and you'd be able to catch decently big(25-35lb) catfish from the...

This is a good article from the Payson Roundup about getting your boat ready for fishing season. "With the great runoff into Roosevelt, lake levels are on the rise with new structure being added to the water that correlates to great fishing. If you are an angler and have a boat, it has probably been stored in a garage or under a boat cover for much of the last five months. Well, it’s time to...

Hoping to get some advice for fishing from a boat in the Mogollon Rim Lakes (Willow Springs, Woods Canyon). I can't catch anything between June and August! I have had good success catching trout in Woods Canyon and Willow Springs Lakes during the late Spring season when trolling from my boat. I've used cowbells, spinners, and crickhoppers, sometimes with a worm or some powerbait on the end....

Bass fisherman here, new to the walleye world. I know our walleye fisheries are limited but does anyone have any tips on how to catch them here?

Hi, last weekend leaving Parker, the seat back rest from my Ranger boat blew out from Running Man gas station to I-10 on 95 or 72. I think it probably came out on 95 but Im not sure. If someone finds it I would sure like to get it back and would pay a reward/finders fee and shipping to get it back to Tucson. It is light silver with red and grey trim. If someone needs a photo I can text or...
