Largemouth Bass
The urban lakes of Tempe, Arizona, offer surprisingly good Largemouth Bass fishing, especially for anglers looking for a quick trip close to the city. Tempe Town Lake is a popular choice, but don't overlook Papago Park ponds or Kiwanis Lake. These smaller waters can hold some surprisingly large bass. Spring and fall are the prime seasons, as the bass are more active in the cooler water. During the summer months, focus on early mornings and late evenings. A local tip is to fish around the bridge pilings and riprap along Tempe Town Lake; these areas provide cover and attract baitfish. Also, consider using weedless lures, as aquatic vegetation can be dense in some areas. While Tempe Town Lake is easily accessible, be mindful of the boat traffic and recreational users, especially on weekends.
