Thanks Jay for the kind words. I’m afraid you may be a little disappointed in Arizona after roaming around New Zealand, but we do have some great small stream fishing here. Enjoy.

I’ve been fishing New Zealand for the last two and a half years, and have developed a serious passion for it. I’d mostly considered fishing in Arizona to be restricted to stocked White Mountain and Rim country lakes. I’m stoked to see all the stream caught wild trout available in Arizona. Makes me hardly able to wait getting home. Thanks for the site.

Rohan,

To be honest, my fly box is not usually this full. I tied like a madman in the spring to get ready for all the trips I took this summer. This is my one all around trout box and it is much fuller than usual. To answer you question, I don’t do too much lake fishing, but most of the stuff I’ve had experience with or read involves streamers and nymphs. If fish are not rising, you can strip leeches or streamers or fish nymphs suspended beneath an indicator. What type of fish are you after?

Habit at this point. It is a little overkill, but it’s always nice to have a little selection if conditions are off. Plus I lose flies like a madman…

Awesome Ed. Congrats on the recent retirement and the plunge back into the fly fishing world. The rim holds some great streams and lakes to fish. Keep me posted on how things go. Thanks for stopping in and the kind words.

I have dug out my gear and plan to get back on the streams up here alot more often.Keep up the good work and I am glad to see the younger generation envolved in the outdoors.
