Register for Patagonia – January 2026
Cast a line into one of Southern Arizona’s most scenic lakes! Patagonia Lake offers crystal-clear waters teeming with bass, catfish, bluegill, trout, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, this hidden desert oasis delivers unforgettable moments with every cast. The lake is stocked throughout the winter months.
Relax on the shoreline, launch a boat into sunrise-lit waters, or teach your friends the joy of their first catch — Patagonia Lake has adventure waiting for everyone. Be sure to register for a fishing license if you do not have one. If you purchased a fishing license for the Mingus Mountain outing last Spring, chances are – it is still valid. Please check your license or reprint from the website. Those without a license can still enjoy the shore, but will be helping with nets only.
