I've been fishing in the Sonoran Desert since I was a little kid at the Community Fishing Program Lakes all throughout Arizona. I grew up in Phoenix fishing canals and urban lakes. I now reside in Southern Arizona and LOVE Surf Fishing at the Gulf of California. I only get to the gulf once a year, sometimes more if I'm lucky, but it's so much fun for me. I'm going to start documenting my fishing adventures, editing the footage, and create fishing media specific to the Sonoran Desert. Their isn't many channels for Desert based angling, which is very different than other conditions. It's a totally different style of fishing. I'm very good at fishing. Usually my family are the only ones catching fish at the lake and everyone else is getting skunked. I want to help people catch fish and do it in a way that is responsible. I've noticed that most people will take every fish they catch home. We have to help people learn how to be responsible anglers and practice selective harvest.

Thanks for the BFS comment on my channel. I truly appreciate it. I just wanted to comment that a couple of friends and I used to hit Rose A LOT... sometimes every afternoon, as we all had pretty nice handling cars, and that drive is FUN! You just made me think about the last time I was there. The best I can pinpoint is nearly 25 years ago. I moved from Tucson in 2000 and have only been back once to visit since.

When my kids turned 3 I would take a day off during the week and and take them fishing at Rose Canyon Lake. That's what a lot of these older videos are. It's still a Tucson gem that's for sure.

ive got a couple videos on my channel where i catch some big trout at riggs flat. The secret is to watch for them and where they are feeding. Put a few piece of sweet corn from a can on and toss it out in front of them and let it fall. Good luck next time hope you catch them!
@thesonorandesertangler
@thesonorandesertangler 2 года назад
When I went all I could see was grass carp. Apparently AZGF hadn't stocked it due to pH issues. This has been going on at Riggs for a couple years now. It doesn't seem like they're going to fix the pH issues, so it's going to be hit or miss at Riggs.

@@thesonorandesertangler I knew they had stocked grass carp to help with the problem but when I was there I saw alot of dead ones. Maybe they restalked it with grass carp again. Thats sad it used to be such a good trout fishery! Thanks for the reply.

@@DesertDwellerFishing It's pretty sad, we used to go camping here when the kids were really little and it was pretty well stocked. We hadn't been back for a couple of years. Since before the fire that happened up there. We ended up at Roper and Danksworth pond. The kids liked Danksworth pond the best.

In the past I've caught trout using worms and corn. This trip in the video I only saw grass carp. Apparently the weeds in the lake are making the pH swing and the AZGF stocks it sparingly.

I've caught some before.. just never kept any. I'm wondering how they taste.

Patrick Baca I use kastmaster spoons 3/8oz and up in silver and chrome. I like the zara spook poppers too. These work really well when their aggressive. On this particular trip they weren't very aggressive, so I had more luck with cut bait. I have a video of my cut bait rig. When its real slow I'll walk the beach with spoons or spooks to get into fish.
