Thanks Doug. I appreciate your support and glad that mobile plugin is doing the trick. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the kind word Iain. The conditions were gorgeous and we had some great fishing. I look forward to getting out on the water with you here in the future. Hope you are having a good spring.

The photos of the semi- submersed rod & reel, and the trout-in-hand are fantastically liquid looking.

PS – loving the mobile plugin.

Read, viewed photos, and commented from my iPhone.

Great post and beautiful images–that first brown caught by Antonio is a real pig. I love the milky color of the water too, fishing usually promises to be good in those conditions.

I really love getting into some of those canyon streams (as you said, the hike out can be a bear), and Arizona seems to be blessed with quite a few, with some outsized trout to match. The crayfish do present an issue, good in terms of feeding large trout, bad in terms of simplifying and damaging the stream ecosystem, although it is certainly fun to tie into predatory fish with streamers!

We will have to get together soon one of these days, and seek out a few backcountry trout (not to mention Oak Creek on the more accessible side of things)…

Thanks again for the post.

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks RC. I’ll be heading back in there for sure before this year is up. The backcountry is certainly a treasure.
