Antonio was able to send me over some other pictures of this past weekend from his camera. Always kind of interesting seeing a trip from someone else’s point of view.
First pool. Looking at this picture, I’m pretty sure I had already lost my net at this point. It would not be a typical day unless I lost or broke something. The fly shop loves me…
Gorgeous creek residents with bright colors and dark spots. I won’t complain when the day is filled with such beautiful fish.
I must have pulled 6 or 7 fish out of this tiny little undercut until this guy charged my fly and splashed the hole so bad he scared everything in there. One of the more unique fish of the day with some interesting spotting. (Same fish pictured below)
Don’t know how you do this, but it sure is cool.

Great pictures and looks like you have been able to get into some great fishing lately!!
Thanks Justin. The streams have been good to me so far this spring. Looking forward to more good times. Thanks again.

What a great site, the best I have found on the web with regard to fly fishing az! Love the pictures and info. My son is coming into town from Golden, Co. and I would like to take him fly fishing. It would be his first time but not mine (I got into it after he went to college). I was thinking about Canyon creek or maybe black river. I really want him to have great first time and get hooked! Would you be able to recommend some specific locations? I was up at the white river last week and it was less than productive.
Thanks Wes. Sent you an email. Thank you very much for the kind words.

Thanks Barry for the kind words. I am totally down for a trip. I have plans these next couple weekends but once we get into the middle of May I’ll be ready to go. Talk to you soon.

Hey Ben that #3 weight looks to tiny! Perfect for the small streams and creeks.
Breaking or losing something on a trip is mandatory!
PS. I got my order os AZ flies. Unreal! Thanks champ!
Thanks Rohan. I absolutely love the 3 weight. So much fun to fish. Glad the flies look good. Let me know how they fish for you. Thanks for the support.

It’s already that green over there? Jeez… Wet wading! Gasp! You cant even do that here yet. Great looking fish, AGAIN. Have you guys over there been having brutal winds too?
Yeah, we’ve been real lucky. We are going to be miserable about halfway through the summer. Our snowpack is really light and I am worried about our streams here. Winds have been up but down in the canyons it’s been bearable. Thanks again for the kind words.

We are looking at 70mph wind again this weekend and a foot of snow. I’m worried over here too. We have snow way up high, 10,000’+ but not enough.
Yikes. Good luck with all that wind. I hope the monsoons bring us rain early to keep the streams up. Otherwise it could be long summer.
