New to fishing in Arizona? Start with the basics below.
Get a License
Anglers 10 and older need an Arizona fishing license.
Licenses are sold online by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and at many local stores.
Start With an Urban Lake
Tucson urban lakes such as Kennedy Lake, Lakeside Park, Silverbell Lake and Sahuarita Lake are stocked through the year.
Easy shore access makes them a good first stop.
Fish the Right Season
Cooler months bring trout stocking to the desert lakes.
Warm months favor catfish, bass and bluegill, early or late in the day.
Check the Rules
Daily bag limits and special rules vary by water.
Read the current Arizona fishing regulations before every trip.
