Theres another spot I fish (Undisclosed location) where the large mouth bass fishing is some of the best I have done across the US. I was out there late one night and landed and relesed a 9lbs spotted bass. The catfishing there a little slow at time but produce big cats 5-25lbs. I catch and relese everything and make sure the fish isn't harmed in any way before relesing them. I fish alot in the canal between broadway and mesa drive, and mesa drive to mcdowell fishing in both place are great it's taken me years to find quality fish along these miles of canal but it's paid off with spots producing a large number of fish ranging in species. I would encourage people to fish the canals, it's a great fishery!

State license requirements and bag limits apply with one important exception: all white amur (also called grass carp) MUST be released unharmed immediately. White amur can reach lengths over 2 feet and weights over 30 pounds. The “huge” fish observed are most likely white amur. SRP pays a premium to stock these weed eating fish into their canals to biologically control nuisance weeds. Consequently, they (SRP) are highly sensitive to any activities (such as angling) that may result in injuries or mortalities to this valuable resource Eric Swanson Those canals that are part of the Salt River Project delivery system, including the Consolidated canals referenced below, are open to public fishing unless otherwise posted.

It looked like the fish were biting and I have seen some huge fish there, but I thought it was illegal. I didn't specifically see a sign by the canal actually stating it was. Are they an exception to the rule? I have seen fishing at the canals by Lindsey & Broadway & another canal on Broadway.
