Arizona Fly Fishing Offers Hunt For Trophy Catches
from:When many people think about Arizona they think about desert sands, the Grand Canyon and rafting on the Colorado River. Seldom do they entertain the notion of Arizona fly fishing but the truth is some of the best brown trout and trophy bass can be pulled from the water with flies. The head of the Colorado River as it enters the canyon is home to some of the best Arizona fly fishing with weather patterns conducive to the year-round sport.
Five bodies of water comprise the White Mountain Lakes, where dry flies are extremely popular with the fly anglers in this southwestern state. Lees Ferry on the Colorado River also offers some of the best trout fishing in the country, as well as the best scenic outlooks at the beginning of the Grand Canyon. Many head out to Arizona fly fishing but are hampered by the many majestic views on their way to the rivers and streams that flow through this desert state.
Fishing from the bank of many of the waterways is recommended as the depth of many streams change quickly. In summer and early fall Arizona fly fishing with dry flies can produce excellent results while during the winter and early spring, wet flies peak the appetite of the native brownies.
Understanding The Entomology Of Arizona Fly Fishing
Persons heading into the dessert region for the first time should educate themselves on the unique aquatic life in the region. Those used to fly fishing in northern climates will find that Arizona fly fishing requires a different approach to the types of flies being cast out as bait. More colorful flies usually serve to attract the fish while the subdued colors of the native insects will provide the appearance of a quick meal.
When vacationing in Arizona fly fishing should not be a spur of the moment decision. It should be a planned excursion and to insure the best chance of catching your daily limit, consider contracting a local guide to help find the hungry fish as well as with fly selection to which they will be attracted.
Located in the White Mountains, Christmas Tree Lake offers some of the best Arizona fly fishing for brown trout. Its 41 acres are stocked annually and is open by reservation only. There are a limited number of anglers allowed on the lake at one time, but it promises to offer the best Arizona fly fishing ever experienced.
