Pleasant is good for stripers. Roosevelt is my favorite lake in AZ but it’s a little drive from Phoenix. Josh Bertrand used to guide on all those lakes but doubt he does now. Try to find John “Scooter” Griffin, (sp), he has guided around there for years. Also, call The Hook Up Tackle as they will be in the know. Saguaro and Canyon are deep clear lakes that have big bass in them, just highly pressured. Saguaro used to be loaded with hydrilla, not sure if it still is. Take a couple drop shot rigs, frogs and swimbaits. Sag and Canyon are beautiful lakes with huge Canyon walls. The schooling activity can be great on Saguaro in October! Oh, take plenty of top waters!

Looks like Sagauro and Canyon are both with an hour or so, so more than likely one of those will do the trick!

Ron Casner (the guy holding up all those big fish) is considered by many/most to be the King of Canyon Lake doesn't guide there anymore.
