With six incredible lakes to choose from, there is a fishery perfectly suited for every condition, season, and skill level. Lake Pleasant and Roosevelt Lake have recently gained national attention for their great fly fishing possibilities!
Lake Pleasant offers a tremendous white bass and striped bass population, as well as some giant largemouth. These fish are often found “blitzing” or “boiling” their bait on the surface, which creates some of the most exciting fishing opportunities found anywhere! Catching all three species in one day is considered the “Pleasant Grand Slam”.
Roosevelt Lake also has the bass fishing world buzzing. Heavy rains in 2004 flooded the lake and the fishery has boomed! Largemouth and smallmouth dominate this brush filled lake, and the fish are strong, mean, and plentiful.
