How is the fishing in Phoenix?

I have a job interview out there next week and I may consider moving. I have been looking around for info about fishing in AZ and I haven't found much. How is the fishing out there? Any Phoenix bass clubs?
Any other info would be great. I have only been to Phoenix one time, so I don't know much about it. I will only be there for the day next week, so I will have no time to look around before I make a big decision. I have heard that it isn't that great - too much traffic and way too hot. It doesn't sound much different than Dallas. I think I would just be happy to get out of all the rain down here.

Thanks,

Peter

You might get more responses on the Southwest board.

Good Luck with the job interview in Phoenix. I visit PHX about 4 times a year - My daughter is there (Gilbert).
It's hot beginning May and gets hotter thru Sept., then starts to cool down in Oct (hi 80s to low 90s).
Traffic is really bad, but they 2 loop freeways, still takes 40 minutes to 1 hour from southeast Gilbert/Chandler to Phoenix.
There is a Cabela's (Mesa) and Bass Pro Shops (Glendale) there.
Lake Pleasant is a clear water lake and several other lakes close by, but fishing is tough. Knowing you, you will be catching all the bass like you did in No. Calif.
Home prices are in decline there and many are up for a fire sale.
Take Care,
