At Saguaro Lake (report courtesy of Sportsman's Warehouse), fishing is rated as good. The best bite seems to be later in the day when the water has warmed a bit. Fish late afternoons if possible. Remember, bass can be caught around boulders and in brush lines on Keitech swim baits, Senko and spinnerbaits. Crappie is just starting, try Kalin's grubs, Crappie Magnet - white / chartreuse minnows or grubs. Catfish are becoming active. In the days and weeks to come, they will be lurking the shallows in search of food. For channel cats, use live worms, stink baits and chicken livers. For flatheads, load up with big line 20-pound plus, fish 5-15 feet deep with live worms, live bluegill or small carp. Rig up a Carolina rig with a 1-ounce egg sinker to help keep your bait on the bottom. Fish from dusk to dawn.
