The big canyon walls and tall pines made a majestic backdrop for the crystal clear water to weave downstream. The eager, hungry Gila trout were a bonus. We had made a couple of fly changes early, and we found that these native trout preferred a very small Frye Creek Special stripped slowly under the surface. Sight fishing for trout in late November is what makes Arizona a special place. Within a few hours we had each caught a dozen or two fish and started working our way back down stream toward the truck. It had been a few years since I’d fished this creek and it was good to find it in such fine form.

Beautiful fish. I’d love to visit and catch one someday. Not really for the achievement, but to see it in it’s natural environs. Good stuff.
Great experiences pay for themselves in memories you will always remember fondly. Thanks
No doubt. Thanks Robert.
