the Lower Salt River near Mesa, Arizona, offers diverse fishing opportunities. Anglers have reported success catching trout, bass, and catfish. Water levels have been high since early February, but fishing remains productive. Trout Fishing: The Arizona Game and Fish Department stocks the river with catchable-size trout from late October through April. Effective techniques include using worms, Power Bait with garlic scent, Panther Martin spinners, Rooster Tails, and Joe's Flies. Bass Fishing: Largemouth bass are present year-round. As of mid-March, bass are moving to depths of 15-20 feet near structures and submerged trees. Recommended lures include Berkley soft baits and large Yamamoto Senko worms. Fly Fishing: Fly anglers have found success with streamer and leech patterns, particularly those with hot head variations. Small red or black zebra midges are also productive. A suggested rig is a hot head pheasant tail as the point fly with a small red zebra midge as the dropper.
