Subject: Patagonia Lake, Arizona
Submitted by HeyYou
Date Fished: 5/4/2002
Water Temperature: 65
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet I flew back to Tucson for the weekend and had a chance to fish my old "home lake" of Patagonia. I left Tucson a few years ago and moved to North Texas. My brother, two sons and myself fished Saturday the 4th from sunup to about 3 pm. It was my son Douglas's 19th birthday and he caught the first, most and biggest bass. He ended up with 6 and I had 3. Doug's biggest was 3 pounds caught on a suspending jerkbait. Others were caught on tubes and flukes. I caught all of mine on 7" tequila sunrise power worm. We could not get hit on topwater or spinnerbaits. We caught fish in the reed weeds, the stickups in the Sonoita Creek Arm, the flat across from the Marina Cove an in Deep Cove. All fish were relatively shallow. We saw several fish on spawning beds and actually worked on one bass for several minutes but could not get him to bite. I saw one up shallow in Deep Cove and tossed a worm to him and he immediately swam over and nailed it. The water temperature was in the mid 60's and clear down to about 4 feet.
Patagonia is a beautiful small lake in the rolling hills of southern Arizona just 1.5 hours south of Tucson.
