: SAGUARO: Lake elevation 1527 feet at 97-percent full. This lake was stocked last week with rainbow trout. There are plenty of fishing piers here for shore anglers. Live worms can be effective for catching trout, bluegill, yellow bass, catfish and largemouth bass. This is a nice place to take the family fishing. One angler reported catching 16 largemouth bass and 1 yellow bass. No more details given. Another fished from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and caught a one pound largemouth bass on a jerkbait in the morning, then he caught a small one on a drop shot. Then he reeled in a 3.5 pound 18 inch largemouth bass on a DD series crankbait along the canyon walls. An angler fishing for yellow bass in deep water caught an 8 pound largemouth bass with a KastMaster. Reported by: Arizona F&G |
