I live in AZ. If your into swimbaiting you could hit Canyon, it's not far from Saguaro, and you might not get a lot of bites but have a chance at a DD. Apache is also a good lake for numbers of both smallmouth and LM. Be prepaired to fish deep with drop shots and spoons. Saguaro and Canyon for size, Apache and Bartlett for numbers, but Apache and Saguaro would be my choice..

Plenty of places you can go. If you have a boat, fish the North end of Lake Pleasant. Drive up to Havasu, it's worth it. Apache and Canyon lakes are solid as well. You have to be prepared to fish deeper water this time of year but you will catch em.
Good luck!

Exposed rock piles on Saguaro in afternoon with jig/pig is deadly.

I live in Phoenix. All depends on what you want.
Saguaro is our best bass fishing lake IMO. Every cast could land you a pretty decent sized fish. Bartlett is usually pretty good for numbers. If you want to hit (IMO) the prettiest lake and still catch some nice fish I'd check out Apache. Kind of a pita to get to but usually keeps the lake traffic reasonably low compared to others.
