About Red Mountain Lake

Red Mountain Lake, in Arizona, United States, is the kind of reservoir where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Red Mountain Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Channel catfish

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

  • 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 Rainbow trout

    Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
