Not too far from I-17 , and with the new signs, it's not too hard to find. Not much shade on the lake, and some days it's crowded.but easy to fish and a nice drive to the lake. Make a day of it and visit Madera Canyon as well. It's about a 15 minute drive south into the mountains, it's a nice cool place to hike and watch birds.
Sahuarita has been stocked with channel catfish. There will be no further stockings until September. Try chicken liver, worms, hot dogs or prepared catfish bait. These lakes also have aggressive, fast growing, tasty, hybrid sunfish. Fishing for sunfish has been good. Use mealworms and earthworms and a small hook, size 10 or smaller, under a bobber set at 3 to 5 feet. Buy a two-pole stamp and try different baits to double your odds.
