- Well, google maps did NOT let me down on this trip! For sure one of the most beautiful places that I have fished. It was funny because I thought I was going to be fishing for Crappie and Walleye. It's very possible those fish could have been in this body of water, but after spending a short amount of time on this stretch of river it became apparent I was going to be Bass fishing and Trout fishing. I hope you enjoy the video!
It's an Eagle nesting area, so it's protected for the Eagle babies 🔥🔥🔥It's beautiful there!
This is correct. They do it on the Verde too. It's just for certain months during the mating time
It’s always a fishing video!! Glad you made it a catching video
Had a very similar experience last year. Was on a family vacation in Scottsdale (from Chicago) and had an afternoon to kill so I went to walmart and bought a cheap rod and some spinners. Then I drove an about an hour to a spot on the salt that I had found online. Didn't have very high expectations but it ended up being absolutely beautiful and I caught a ton of rainbows. One of my favorite fishing experiences ever. It sounds crazy but I would go back to AZ just for the fishing.
If you do, you gotta hit up the black river on the San Carlos. Absolutely phenomenal smallmouth fishing. It's a trip.
Man that is awesome! Fishing new places can be so rewarding! Makes it a lot more fun to catch fish!
Payson Arizona is about an hour away from Scottsdale. And has stocked trout as well check it out!
You need to try some of the mountain lakes...
Two weeks ago, Bartlett Lake just N. of Phoenix in my friends boat. The largemouth were hitting crazy, so busy nobody even had time to drink much beer.... but we went for crappie, and that was non-existent...
I was catching largemouth on my crappie rig....
Small, nothing over
3 lbs. but fun...........
Beautiful bass. Color of them was brilliant and they looked really healthy
I like carp fishing that area. Huge ones in there
I was probably out there the same weekend catching my limit of trout. Wife pulled a 16 incher out upriver from where you were.
Man that’s be sweet! Nice!
Sweeeet!! Nice vid man beautiful scenery
Thanks man! The place was jaw dropping. You been catching any more crappie or walleyes?
can you tell me the directions to this location? we are new to Arizona and having trouble finding access points to bank fish we do not own a boat
Nice video! I’d much rather catch walleye than pike as walleye are the best tasting fresh water fish IMHO! 👌
From that sign it takes another 30 mins of walking and you have to cross the river
That sign is old af too. It’s not legit anymore
Been fishing this river alot this winter, tons of trout! Mostly little stalkers but hve pulled out some nice 14 inchers
Man I wish I found the trout while I was there!
Verde river needles rock by Tonto Verda golf club has small fish there
Beeline Highway Out of Mesa Arizona east of Phoenix , Salt River is a tail water trout fishery. Upstream its headwaters are a native trout fishery and Small Pugh in the Middle Black river in the Pines of the White Mountain Apache Reservation. So fish in Salt River in Winter. Though it’s cold enough for trout year round in the summer Thousands tube and boat Salt River
Pretty sure it’s Bald Eagle And maybe Per Falcon nesting up on cliffs
Salt River below the dam?
@@shaneluck2570 yep!
Wish could hung out you did fishing I'm here scottsdale on vacation miss fishing
I can’t wait to get back out there! Thanks for watching!
Also there are the only aquatic wild horses that walk around that area keep your eye out that are amazing as well
beautiful video i am your fan
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
@@theu.s.ofangling1344 please view my channel also
Just caught my first fish at the Salt River the other day
Just moved to Phoenix, and this river is gorgeous! I too was amazed to find water in it, in the middle of the drought, but the flow was strong. And, Saguaro lake was full to the brim!
Its such a beautiful area!
its called verde river and needles rock by tonto verde golf club
Great vid nice footage new friend here
Thanks! Such a beautiful place
You know what would be cool and you probably can use for.cuts or shorts, is when ever you cast out or catch a fish you show the lurer you used and say what it is.. cause I forget and have to rewind and find, yet I think that you could use those for shorts,
That’s a great idea I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
@@theu.s.ofangling1344 do you have any walleye, catchets
@@thereelhunting144 I have a quite a few on my channel!
@theu.s.ofangling1344 word I'm going to check them out, I think I need to do alittle more fishing myself, just got done speaking with a fisher who says the fish are hitting out on lake Havasu he caught a few good size bass

Bro, watch my vids. I have vids of me fishing a few miles back. That trail you took. It leads to the dam. There’s an otter dam back there. Caught many 4 pounders too. I’ve seems Codis too.
Man I’m jealous!! I couldn’t get to it while I was there. Or at least didn’t know how to lol I’ll definitely check them out!
Welcome to the desert city boy!
Far from a city boy but these views were definitely new to me!
It just means that’s where the big fish are and during the time they may spawn, you can’t fish for the Biggins.
been there ran into a rattle snake and a random dog
where at in iowa r u from? im from Marengo iowa do u know where that is?
Only is az do guys get excited for catching tiny fish. This state sucks! Can’t wait to move back to the south and get into some 20+ lbs stripers
English? You should leave sooner. You make this state retared.
No reason to leave Az. Stripers are in Lake Pleasant and the Colorado river outside of Kingman. If you know where to go, we also have some of the best bass fishing here. Definitely a WR in Pleasant.
What kind of cam are you using? I want to film my first experiences with my son.
This is a Hero 9 GoPro. Any year/model of GoPro does great!
I’m moving up to Arizona and wondering if there’s and honey holes around Queens creek
I’m not familiar with that area, hope you find them!
In Queen Creek you won't be far from where he is fishing in the video.
if you fish that river you need a hellgrammite bait 1/2 to 2" purple or black
Have you thought about getting a inflatable kayak? I love mine and it gives me more areas to fish especially if the bank is hard to access.
I’ve been thinking of getting a belly boat actually! Right now the water is freezing so I might hold out a while lol
@@theu.s.ofangling1344 ha that's probably too extreme for me and would be hard to maneuver in bigger waters since it requires some swimming.
How do you get to this place
It’s just below Saguaro Lake dam. I just parked in the recreation parking (you have to pay to park) and walked up stream!
hey just wondering what kind of rode and real do you use
For spinning reels I almost always buy Pfluegger! Either the Trion or President. For rods I buy scheels brand usually, but my favorite rod right now that I have, the brand name is called Favorite! I just look for skinny 6.5-7ft rods, and I like when they have a lot of very small lien guides. I’m hard on my stuff, so I don’t but very expensive rods and reels. It hurts less when they break lol
If you wanted trout so bad why didn't you just go up north?
Where is this? My 5 yr old has been asking for me to take him fishing and I’ve never fished so idk where I can go anyone have any places I can go? Also where I can get my fishing license.
Just below Saguaro lake on the salt river! Fishing licenses can be purchased online!
Salt river usually is a good place but stay closer to the dam in summer to avoid the tubers. Bartlett flats are a good place to go as well but gets busy.
verde river and needles rock doesn't have big bass, they are all small. Literally and the end of E. verde dr by tonto verde golf club
Imaging be there with my fly rod
I'm a native Phoenician fish the Salt upper lower and every place between caught every type of fish in there never ever caught seen or heard of any Walley Pike or any type of fish like that! Would be extremely happy to be wrong so pls someone tell me I am!!
The lake above the salt river has walleye, so I was just hoping there were some in the river below. Cannot confirm though lol
@@theu.s.ofangling1344
Understood sir! The lake you mention Saguaro Lake and Ive fished it before just not a lot great lake big fish but tends to get way too crowded for me! So I truly can't say if it has Walleye in it or not but if they are in there then how can they not be in the river below!?
But either way great video enjoyed it! Maybe see you out there some time! GB!
which dam were you referring to?
This was below Saguaro Lake!
Can u give me an aproximated directions
Where in the salt river were you? Clearly away from the tubers
I entered at the northernmost parking lot for tubers, and just went up river! Most tubers put in at the parking lot
You need a kayak bro!
I completely agree!!
Damn I thought you actually caught trout..
Shouldn't be palm trees there.
Can I get some basic directions to get me closest to the dam area? Please i would appreciate it.
I wish I knew! On my way to the dam I ran into that sign that said I couldn’t go any further
At the pull out park east up by the lower bathrooms. Pick a way down its a climb. Or go east through the eagle preserve about 1/4 of a mile to 1/2 a mile to get close to the dam. Located on hunt highway off the beeline highway. About 3 miles south of saguaro lake.
Where is this?
It’s the lower salt river right below lake Saguaro!
Where at the river are you?
Just below Seguaro lake!
What river is this
Lower salt river!
What spot is this
Lower salt river below Saguaro Lake AZ
@@theu.s.ofangling1344 thanks bro
...no walleyes there dude....
I’m surprised because the lake above has walleyes and usually that means the rivers below do too.
@@theu.s.ofangling1344 Saguaro has no walleyes too
@@fishing_gimiks_az hmm, multiple reports show there are walleyes in Saguaro Lake
@@fishing_gimiks_az
There’s a few walleye in saguaro! And a very small population in the salt. Get informed!:)
@@hunterhastings6860 ...video proof would be nice....
Definitely no walleyes in there.
??ok where in arizona??
The Lower Salt river below Saguaro Lake!
That area is a Bald Eagle 🦅 nest area
For real!? Wish I would have seen some that’s awesome
Oh you can get up there but I ain't telling.
I'm sorry. But I'm from the East Coast," great lakes region". Been trying to fish AZ for 12 yrs. Y'all have NO real fishing here, just saying. I've tried.
Bud blamed an entire state on his bad fishing 😂
Can't find many fish inside your apartment...
Where did you go?
Where have you tried?
Ive lived in Arizona my whole life and just recently learned how to catch em. Practice.
@@jimmyfallos1056
50 years fishing in Az. only time we ever got skunked was Granite Basin, we were there 15 min. (never got my line wet) and this idiot we met there tried to pick up a rattlesnake by the dam, and got tagged..
Had to take him into Prescott E.R., so at least, we saw somebody get a bite!
You either don't know how to fish or just don't know our lakes. We have huge lm bass here. 10 to 15 pounders are caught quite often. We have HUGE sunfish. I myself caught one in Saguaro Lake that was bigger than a dinner plate. Monster flathead catfish, crappie, white bass, striped bass, trout , walleye, pike, etc. They're here. LTF. BTW, if you happen to learn anything and decide to fish the confluence of the White and Black rivers where they become the Salt River for smallmouth bass, be ready to pay a fish tax to the bears. While you're wading in the water fishing, as you should, there's a good chance at least one will show up and wait.
