Yeah, I guess that makes a lot of sense
I realize now that it was kind of a dumb question.
I remember visiting my sister who lives near Phoenix, and they would take us to Surprise Lake. It is legitimately referred to as a lake by locals, even though I'm fairly certain it is 100% artificial. It's 5 acres (.02 sq. km.), and 12 ft. deep at its deepest point. "Surprisingly"
, it is an extremely popular fishing destination. The city regularly stocks it with fish species from all over, including largemouth bass, channel catfish, sunfish, rainbow trout, and white amur. It is even mentioned in the Outdoorsman Fishing Guides.

The sign in the last one is kind of funny - it looks like the lake closes at 1:00pm (really, the '0' fell of, and it's 10:00pm).
Take that Canada, and all your 880,000+ lakes
