Lake Oviachis is located 15 miles from Ciudad Obregon, Mexico (state of Sonora.) The city is 525 miles south of Tucson, Arizona and over 1,000 miles west of El Paso, Texas. Obregon, a farming community, is a young city barely 78 years old who is proud of its Yaqui roots and of its immigrants, who came from Europe and the United States in the early 20th century. They came with the promise of a kind and fertile valley, where they intermingled with the population from the mountains and other regions of Mexico. From these origins has risen a hard-working and peaceful community of 500,000 residents who have created a wide spectrum of options to please their visitors.
Lake Oviachic is 20,500 surface acre feet and approximately 25 miles long; which makes it one of the largest lakes in Mexico. It has a tremendous population of Florida Strain Largemouth Bass, which were stocked in 1952, that grow very fast due to feeding on the abundance of Tilapia in the lake.
Bass fishing enthusiasts from as far as Europe and Australia come to fish the Oviachic waterway throughout the year. A very popular International Largemouth Bass Tournament is hosted at the lake each year. This event brings hundreds of excited fishing anglers from all over the world. They come to experience the pleasure of competing for the best catch.
On a June, 2011 trip to Lake Oviachic two anglers sharing a boat reeled in a catch of over 200 black bass in one day. The sizes ranged from 3 to 10 pounds. Wow—what a day!
