Kayak fishing on Arizona's desert lakes combines two beloved outdoor activities into one unforgettable experience. Paddling a kayak into coves and along shorelines that motorboats cannot reach gives anglers access to untouched fishing spots in some of the most scenic settings in the Southwest.

Kayak Fishing on Saguaro and Canyon Lakes

Kayak rentals are available at marinas on both Saguaro Lake and Canyon Lake, and several outfitters offer fishing kayaks equipped with rod holders, tackle storage, and anchoring systems. The calm morning waters of these canyon-framed lakes are ideal for kayak fishing, with bass, crappie, and catfish readily available along rocky shorelines and submerged structure. Guided kayak fishing trips are available for those new to the sport.

Paddle, Fish, and Relax

A morning of kayak fishing followed by an afternoon of relaxation at your vacation rental is the perfect vacation day formula. Return to The Big House or Pieper Mansion to clean your catch, take a dip in the pool, and prepare a fresh fish dinner on the outdoor grill. The combination of active adventure and luxury relaxation defines the LoveYourVacationRental.com experience.
