Fishing in Arizona

Arizona's desert lakes and rivers offer surprisingly excellent fishing. Lake Havasu, Roosevelt Lake, and Saguaro Lake hold trophy largemouth bass, while the White Mountains streams provide world-class trout fishing. The Colorado River forms Arizona's western border and hosts striped bass and catfish.
