Fly fishing Arizona means that you take what you can get. Jake and I explored a trickle of a stream where surprisingly we found a few small rainbows living. There wasn’t a whole lot of real estate, but the fish were fairly aggressive, attacking our flies on the surface. It was amazing to see these wild fish thriving at such a low elevation and in so little water. Thankful for such beautiful fish, we released the spotted specimens back into the water to be caught another day.

Ben,
You always have such great photos.
Since I also live in Arizona I often try to figure out where you are in the different photos you show. This one has me completely stumped.
It sort of reminds me of Mt. Lemon near Tucson but then . . .
Anyway, nice fishing.
Thanks Yvonne. I appreciate the support.

Man that’s even lower than the streams I fished last week in the Eastern Sierras the only fisherman that I ran into that was doing any good was dressed in full camo head to toe full face mask gloves the works sweating like a pig .Gregg
Greg, This creek was literally a trickle. Those small stream fish can be spooky as the camo-clad individual you met knows. Hope you had fun.

By my estimation, anytime you are somewhere beautiful and there are fish albeit small ones, the trip is a success. Nice going.
I couldn’t agree more Howard.
