Western Canal

Western Canal, in Arizona, United States, is a canal where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Western Canal is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

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 Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
