Welcome to Lo Water Guide Service, your premier destination for unforgettable fishing and birding experiences in Phoenix, Arizona, and its surrounding areas. As Phoenix stands as an urban desert oasis, our waterways, once untamed rivers, now flourish through massive reservoirs, lakes, and ancient canal systems hand-dug by Natives, transforming this arid land into a hospitable haven. As permit holders for the Tonto National Forest, we proudly extend our trips to explore the rarest trout on earth, the Gilas. Whether you're into bass fishing, trout fishing, or birding tours, you've discovered the ultimate guide service to cater to your preferences.


Embark on a variety of trips, starting with the canal systems that meander through the Phoenix metro area. These canals host a diverse range of warm water species, with our main targets being the impressive grass and common carp, known for their massive proportions and thrilling fights. If you prefer a break from the urban scene, venture just an hour north to explore two prime angling reservoirs: Bartlett Lake and Lake Pleasant. Utilizing our specialized 16' skiff, we chase largemouth bass, striped bass, and white bass in these picturesque locations. The boat's shallow draft of about 6" unlocks the "desert flats," inspired by the concept of poling pancake flats in Oahu. Here, we engage in visual fishing, stalking tailing carp in shallow regions—an experience akin to a stalking game.

For those seeking a change of scenery, a short hour-and-a-half drive to Payson leads to a quaint Northern town beneath the mighty Mogollon Rim. Away from the hustle and bustle, Payson offers a serene setting, and we fish beneath the rim for some of the most beautiful trout in the West. Our trips cater to those pursuing the AZ trout and wild trout challenges, providing a customized and immersive experience.

Get In Arizona’s Far Out Reservoir And Rivers To Find Largemouth And Smallmouth Bass In Roosevelt, Apache And Canyon Lake

Come see what the Wild West of Arizona looks like- bass style! Arizona has some cool reservoirs built in vast canyons. Roosevelt and Apache are the most northern reservoirs in the Salt River Chain and they host a few species of bass that we don’t have in the valley. Like smallies! These lakes are beautiful and cooler weather than their southern counterparts. These are boat trips. Apache is a very rugged road in and out. Trips will be at guide discretion.

Arizona Desert & Waterway Birding Tours with Close Wildlife Encounters for 8 Guests | Give us a call at (602) 300-1881 to check availability and book your trip.

This journey materialized from exploring the enchanting deserts and waterways of Arizona. Amidst the vast mountain ranges and an abundance of wildlife seeking respite by the water, the desert's harshness unveils awe-inspiring sights for even the most seasoned travelers. Numerous bird species also grace our lakes, and our boat is equipped to accommodate tripods and provide spots for using optics. We navigate remarkably shallow waters, allowing close encounters with birds. Among my favorites are the Western Grebes and North American Pelicans that make captivating stops during their journeys.

Nikko put me on fish a bunch. He’s a very knowledgeable and was patient with my crummy casting. He reads the fish better than me too. Fun day of Flyfishing

I have always thought of carp as a trash fish growing up… let me tell you… they are one of the most keen sense of awareness I have ever seen.. and may be one of the toughest freshwater fish to catch I have ever come across. I had a great time with Stan fishing the canals of Phoenix! If you are ever in the area and want a challenge along with a great time, then give low water guide service a call!

Ryan did a very good job did his best to get us on fish. The creek we fished on had limited opportunities and think it gets a lot of pressure from area fisherman. Ryan did his best we did catch a few Rsinbows and missed some which made for a good .

First time I ever fished for Suckers on a fly rod and honestly I was very skeptical. But Niko put me on the fish and landed a 22.5 in the net. Great time!. Next time I am back out here I will definitely hook up with them again

Had a great time fishing with Nico.  My first time canal carp fishing and it was a blast!  Nico did an excellent job of putting us on fish and providing patient instructions on how to cast to them.   I’ll definitely book another trip with him!!!😎🎣
