Thanks – will take any northern AZ suggestions you have for shore casting. Will be heading up when pdogs open in mid June and will also be looking for a nice fishing spot.

Ever hit up Horsethief Basin “lake”?

Thanks 33. You’re missing out for sure. Let me know if I can offer any advice when you make the switch over to fly fishing.

That fly rod is nice enough looking to make me consider moving into the world of fly fishing.

Thanks! I caught one nice fish which made the trip worth it. Found out I was minutes behind another angler after an hour+ of getting skunked the next day. We headed home early.

So true. How about eggs cooked in a 1/2 inch of bacon grease in a cast iron skillet. No day ever goes bad after a breakfast like that. Looking forward to the next time.

Alan, we were somewhere between 8000 and 8500 feet I think. We woke up with frost on our sleeping bags and it was very cold in the morning. It rained on us mid-day. Between work and family, my time is very limited. So I go when I can go, no matter the weather. May is usually a pretty safe bet in Arizona. Most of the local shops have info on how things are fishing too. Thanks for the kind words.
