They Drained the BEST Fishing Canal in Arizona...

- They drained our favorite fishing canal and even left some fish to die! Every year here in AZ they drain a canal to clean. This year it happened to be the best fishing canal !
Canal fishing is very popular here in AZ, and the draining’s are not the issue. What is however is the leaving of fish to ultimately run out of air and die. We have to conserve any fish we have.
Come along with us as we fish this canal for the last time, and even explore the remains after the canal has been drained. This whole video is pretty crazy.
Salt river project canal people where yah at?

They refilled the canal I live right by it hopefully they put back some healthy ones boys !
Hoping!
Don't think they stock the canals.
Be careful, if SRP See's you in the canal, they can trespass you..
Years ago, they would let you drag nets...
The only thing they wanted from us were the grass carp. To return after filling..
I have caught, four kinds of bass, walleye, all three kinds of cats and most in-between..
Netting back in the 70's I even got attacked by a muskrat... (12 stitches)
he didn't make it.......
I caught a 24" stripe bass
(on a small orange panther martin) by 7th st. N. of Northern in N. Phoenix...
( right after Nov. refilling)
Where is this Canal
Have you tried it since it’s been refilled? I live right near it too but have been reluctant to go out there
We’re is this located at?
Loved the video!!! Wasn't expecting the MAN DOWN part 😂 but I'm guessing he wasn't either 🤣 Glad he's alright though. Can't believe they drained the canals, my heart breaks for you guys... And left those fish there to just die 😮 ohh... And question.. are you using a mic when you record on your phone (or device that's not the go pro) ??
Thanks! Yea 😂😂 I use my GoPro audio
I emptied my pockets beforehand cuz I’ve fallen in a few times and gotta be ready 😂😂 but yeah was not expecting it
@hottmessfishin they are drained for maintenance
Hey I live arizona city and we have a canal I think you should try
Sounds good shoot me a message
Dude they did a whole story about it they netted most of the fish out and moved them and they're doing repairs. They got to do this kind of stuff all the time
Yea they do it every year to a different canal. Just crazy to see how many fish they leave
i live in yuma az but i would love to know where this is!!!
East valley brother
I new to Arizona. Where is the East Valley? Very cool videos. Are these fish okay to eat? Since your catching and release. Thanks. @@TheFishinMagician20
I have a tentative job offer in Yuma. If I get it, do you want to fish canals together? Ill bring the beer and gatorade.
10:20 you found my bobber! I knew it would turn up!
No wayyy 😂
wheres this canal!!!!
I was out at my local stretch of canal in Mesa a week ago and found that it was that time of the year again when the SRP drains the canals for annual maintenance.
I wish I would have known ahead of time. I could have ridden out there and possibly gotten back a few of my favorite lures that I lost by snagging them on the trash that folks will throw into the canals.
I haven't been out there since and I'm not sure when the water will be flowing again.
SRP posts the maintenance schedule on their website
Shoot yea I bet it’s a gold mine down there! Hopefully it’ll be flowing again soon
@@TheFishinMagician20 Yea, when we were kids we'd beg our mom to take us to the river during these times of the year when they'd stop the flow on the Salt River.
We knew that we'd be able to re-stock our meager tackle boxes with new fishing lures and hooks and occasionally a new fishing reel that had been lost in the river.
We were just kids with no money to buy lures and our single mom didn't have the money to buy us fishing stuff but, gas was cheap back then and the drive to the river counted as a family outing.
I’ve been following you for a while and watch all of your videos and Porter’s videos too. Keep up all of your guy’s great content and your small business together. It’s just really sad to see all these good canals and other amazing fishing spots disappear right before our eyes. But I wish you nothing but the best and keep up the amazing videos 💯👊
Thank you a ton 🙏🏼 we’re trying hard out here! It really does suck. Got unlucky this year. But thanks for the support 🔥
@@TheFishinMagician20 of course! I’ve been fishing since I was 2 years old and have fished for just about everything here in Az except trout and that is my goal this year. You have helped out a lot with all of your instructional videos. I can’t wait to see what content you have coming up next 😁
Welp, at least you know what the bottom looks like.
I suppose lol
i’m not tryna be a hater by any means at all. but please.. tighten your drag. use slightly thicker line if you’re worried about it breaking. it should not by any means at all take that long to real in a 1.5 pound bass
Firstttttttt
Got eem
Aww I'm so happy you throw them back. We Magnet Fish the canals in Arizona and clean up, so we are pulling out things that you would have got stuck on. Don't forget to tell people about the AMUR and that you aren't allowed to keep those. They are put in when they are already 2ft long.
U can keep fish from the canals except Amur?
So they do this every winter and clean the canal put the actually net alot of the fish and move them to where im not sure but i do know they do this every year. Ive seen them pull 40+lb flats out. When they first drain it they walk a net along the sides super interesting to watch.
Also fantastic editing in this video gents well done.
I’ve heard yes. This is the first time I’ve seen it near me. Thats crazy! I’ll have to try and observe sometime. Thanks for the support!
I bet 25$ Porter swam that day
😂😂😂
Bruh 😂😂😂 I ain’t betting nothing
@@FishingWithPorter Bruh ill take that zelle
@@ErwinEdventures 😭😭😭
Third 😢im sorry i haven’t been on it lately lol
no worries your here!
Typical Arizonan behavior
I just discovered your channel you guys ever catch bowfin in those canals?
Thanks! Nah we don’t have them here in AZ
What canal did you fish at?
What fish in the canal will jump clear out of the water to eat a bug? One day I was eating lunch in my car at 32 street and Baseline. There is a bridge over the Western canal with a lot of spider webs or cob webs under the bridge. There was a large bug caught in one of the webs and he was trying to get loose. All of a sudden a big fish jumped clear out of the water and snagged that grasshopper of whatever bug it was!! I was amazed that I was right there at the right time eating my burrito and watching a fish eat his lunch too! What fish would do that?
Im fixing to head out to the south high line lateral to see if it’s got any fish tomorrow. Haven’t had a lick of luck in any of the community waters lately. Desert breeze and Kiwanis seem totally dead.
They clean them every year..
They used to save some by netting them... Don't think they do any more....
On a good note.. they all come back when it's refilled....
Duh, I was a ditch runner in Phoenix for SRP and we drain canals all the time for maintenance, still have some ditch runner maps lol
Which canal is this
Where do they take the fish after they drain it out?
They move em to different sections of canal I believe
I think I’m going to do a desert fishing road trip next winter. I wanna get me some canal bass! Nice vid dude. 🤘🏼
Awesome! They are soooo fun! Thank you 🙏🏼
it’s bad right now but i. the long term it will be way better trust me
where are some canal that are okay to fish before I go?
I rode my bike in the canal around crossroads park while it's been empty. I was looking for a fishing pole I lost when I fell in.
dang that sucks ,looks like they refilled this one in the video now. Maybe that one is filled again too
I fished this and I'll never forget my net again
I LOVE YOUR VIDIOES SO MUCH i live in the az area we should fish some time
I appreciate ya 😎 I’m sure I’ll see you out there sometime
They drained some of the canals I fish on the west side too.How long until the fish come back???
We’re thinking a month or so 🤷🏽♂️
can you send the location of the canal
Where is this at Im in arizona as well
I don’t remember crossroads but east valley
to all the local fishermen... do you fish the ponds over the canal this time of year?? if so why??
Yes, canals really slow down this time of year, ponds stay full of trout
sorry for all the questions.. is it just a weather thing as to why??? or something else???
@@TheFishinMagician20
@@jryderaz6024 they cut the flows in the winter, and the canals fall about a foot. also combined with cold weather the fish slow down
So the canals can be fish legally?
Srp canals yes
Are they draining it to clean it out?
yessir it has been filled again already
Why did they drain it
Cleaning
is it to reduce sedimentation?
part of it yes. It is just to clean the bottom, replace concrete sometimes and unclogging drains mostly.
This happened to me 😭😭 in Avondale AZ
Nooooo 🥲
@@TheFishinMagician20 they was a school of flat head and channel in there they definitely don't get all the fish out
Always great content!
🙏🏼🔥
First
dubs
How long do these usually stay drained??
a few weeks maybe a month or 2
I used to get SRP irrigation. It's usually only a month, mid-December through mid January. Any more than that and farms south of valley don't have any water for crops. Cleaning and repair of canals during the cooler months.
The south side gets drained around thanksgiving. North side around new years. It’s a yearly occurrence
Now they can shut sections off and use pumps so some sections don’t get drained annually
SAVE THE KOI
Legend says it was saved 🤷🏽♂️
@@TheFishinMagician20 that’s what we like to hear baby
Which canal ?
Already asking spots and the video ain’t even drop 😂😂😂
@@FishingWithPorterthat’s a problem? 😂 do u prefer canal fishing or pond fishing??
@@A10SHOTZ I just find it funny. This time of year ponds but spring and summer 100% canals
would you give up your favorite fishing😬 spot 🤫
