Fishing Clubs in Arizona
Arizona fishing splits between warmwater desert reservoirs and high-country trout. The lower Colorado River impoundment of Lake Havasu plus Roosevelt, Bartlett, Saguaro and Lake Pleasant anchor a deep bass-tournament tradition, while the White Mountains, the Mogollon Rim (Canyon Creek) and the tailwater at Lees Ferry hold trout. The club scene is heavy on competitive bass clubs and B.A.S.S. Nation affiliates, with Trout Unlimited and fly-casting clubs around Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson.
