Fly Fishing Arizona's Famous Tempe Town Lake

Tempe Town Lake is an iconic lake in the heart of Tempe, Arizona. Situated just north of Arizona State University, Tempe Town Lake is a famous draw for recreation and public events in the East Valley of Phoenix, Arizona. But because it’s also the final reservoir of the Salt River… Tempe Town Lake holds a TON of fish!

In this video, I explore the banks of Tempe Town Lake, and do some fly fishing for whatever bites! There are a lot of species of fish in the lake, including some REALLY big fish… join me for an urban fly fishing adventure with some awesome rod bending action!
