[cool]Howdy Bryan. I'm guessing you fished Parker Canyon Lake. It does have some great bass, and recently has developed a growing population of (illegally introduced) northerns.
There are also some great sunfish, up to 2 lbs, and great catfish. They stock it with trout during the cooler months and much of the angling is for hatchery pets. The savvy bassers almost have the lake to themselves On our first trip there, my wife caught a 9.5 pound channel cat on a tiny bait bug she was casting for bluegills in about 8 feet of water.
That's the closest lake to Huachuca. Patagonia Lake is just 10 miles from Nogales, a port of entry into Mexico. On the day Xman and I went down there...shortly after the commencement of Iraqi Freedom...we saw more police cars, border patrol and other official vehicles cruising the highways and biways than I have ever seen. A friend from my office came across the Mexican border last Monday and said there was a line of over 200 trucks waiting to be "processed" for entry into the U.S.
For those who don't know it, Ft. Huachuca is the home of the Signal units of the armed forces...responsible for communications. The town of Sierra Vista, supported by Ft. Huachuca, is just about a ghost town right now. Let's hope, for everyone's sake, that their troops will not be needed in Iraq for very long and they will all return safe.
