I'm an outdoorsman and a big fisherman. When I last visited the Phoenix area, I paid the Bass Pro in Mesa a visit. It's a beautiful store and has everything you need to plan your next fishing, hunting, or camping trip. The staff is very friendly and they will approach you to ask if you need any help. Like other Bass Pro stores, this location has a large tank that features largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish, and other sport fish. It also has a man-made stream adjacent to the big fish tank that contains live rainbow trout - very cool! I have Bass Pro Shops stores near my home in Alabama, but this location is every bit as good as those. I've also visited the flagship store in Springfield, Missouri, and it is worth visiting if you're ever in the area. This is a great place to take children to experience the live fish on display.
