I am new to the area and am used to fishing bigger water in Wyoming and Colorado. I love your website and enjoy the pictures and stories of your local trips. I live in north Phoenix. Could you give me any advice on some Arizona streams that I can fish? I noticed that you conveniently left out the names of the streams on the rim, but would appreciate it if you could steer me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Chad

In reply to David G. Ha. Thanks David. They originally were saying that our snowpack was a little weak, but we had several good storms since then which dropped some good snow in the high country. Hopefully it will be enough to keep these streams flowing nice through the summer. Thanks for the kind words. Ben

Watch out for Bigfoot over there! Looks like a fantastic river and a fun trip. How was the AZ snow pack this year?

In reply to Ryan Doering. Thanks Ryan. I couldn't have been happier with how the streams looked. This first one we fished was a little bit off color, but sometimes that works to your advantage. The second smaller stream was crystal clear and gorgeous. Really gets me excited for the rest of this summer and fall. Thanks again for the kind words. Ben

Strong work as always. It seems like the rivers are shaping up nicely.

I’m about convinced. A mountain bike might be on my birthday wish list this summer. You’re always one step ahead of me Mike. Thanks for the sage words of advice.

In reply to Bill.

Thanks Bill, I hear what your saying. My mom lives up in the Adirondacks and said they were supposed to get eight inches of snow while we broke triple digits here in AZ. We have it made now but mid July, I’ll be miserable…

Looks like a great day Ben! What you’re experiencing weather wise seems like it’s a long way off from where I’m sitting. Nice post!

RE: gated forest roads, ya know a mountain bike could get you up that road well before most everyone else. Fishing the early season backcountry before the guys at the fly shop? Awesome. See always thinking! 😉 mike
