Grand Canal

As a canal in Arizona, United States, Grand Canal fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at Grand Canal pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Grass carp

  Pre-baiting an area with corn or other plant matter for several days can concentrate grass carp and increase your chances of a catch.

• For Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
