    It’s our jam, we love it up thereIMG_6833.jpgNot sure of the max overall but I’m pretty sure max trailer length is around 22-23ft.
    We’ve been reserving the group site for like 5 years now so we don’t have to worry about getting a spot anymore

    Parker Canyon is very nice. We go often, close to us and if @Breathing Borla ends up in Vail he'll be even closer.
    Patagonia is OK but gets way to crowded and it's the only lake I've ever seen in AZ that has signs posted saying to lock your gear up or it might be stolen.

    Even 10 years ago Patagonia was still nice, sad to hear.
    Not for a day trip, but Greer is one of my favorite places in AZ to go fish. The lack of others is a premium these days.
    When you're done having a beer in the bass boat, and want to eat, you go to Mexico! If you're bigger than the fish, how challenging was it really?!?

    There are plenty of boat friendly lakes for that size boat.
    I guess my question would be do you mind hauling it around the state a bit on your excursions? If not. I'd say bring it.

    I don't mind trailering it to a spot for a day launch for a few hours fishing type deal. I just bought a really nice trailer two years ago

    Cool. PM me the address, I'll go make sure it's safe and shit. You don't mind if I use the pool/spa/ whatever is there while I'm ensuring your safety, right?
