The Agua Fria mouth at Lake Pleasant north of Phoenix. Shhh, it's a secret.
Seriously, the AF rarely runs enough water in the spring to get the fish to move up into it, but this year is one of those years, and it's a lot of fun. Several bottlenecks only a dozen yards wide, and the channel is pretty obvious most of the way, so the casting/fishing is pretty easy. Sunday the water will actually probably be a little too high and definitely pretty muddy, but that's like a dinner bell. They'll be in there, and hungry. I just have to size up a little, put heavier eyes on my flies to get them down in that fast water. The fish will do the rest.
I went a couple weeks ago when there was just enough flow, and stuck at least 30 fish, landed 16? 6-8 white bass/wipers, two small stripers, one 2.5-lb. LMB, one 5-lb. cat, and three common carp. Four break-offs using 12-lb. test, so a couple lunkers in there I didn't see.
