Largemouth Bass

If you're targeting Largemouth Bass near Eagar, Arizona, your best bet is to focus on the local reservoirs and smaller lakes dotting the White Mountains. These high-altitude waters offer a unique bass fishing experience, though the season is shorter than in the desert. Spring (late April-May) and early fall (September-October) are prime times, as the water temperatures are more favorable for bass activity. During the summer months, target early mornings or late evenings to avoid the midday heat and sun. A local tip: try fishing near submerged structure or weed lines, as the bass often seek cover in these areas. Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area, while a bit of a drive, is a popular and productive location. Expect to find bass in the 1-3 pound range, with the occasional larger fish. Be aware that the water levels can fluctuate depending on rainfall and irrigation demands, so check local conditions before heading out.
