Alright, I know that in a lot ofthe country fishing gets scarce, but down here in Arizona the stocking starts. IN fact the urban lakes ahve already been getting stocked with catfish, and this week we're getting trout. After a large hailstorm that ripped through here a couple of days ago the water temp has gone down, meaning my favorite fish, bluegills, crappie and bass, are looking for food and getting ready to spawn. fishing at it's best.

I love fishing the summer months when they have to be teased mercilessly to take a hook, but now is when they get their fighting gloves on...

In addition, the rivers and lakes close by- the Verde and the Salt- are ready to be fished as the tubers put their stuff away, the added waters there simply ad a little speed to the flow throught eh rapids. and the fishright below tthem should be itching for a fly....
