I was driving home from another peaceful, but unsuccessful fly fishing expedition on the Lower Salt River the other day (the stocked trout have found shelter beyond my reach) and thought to myself that there has to be another fishable stream in the area that does not require a trip thru Payson.

Sometime last month, my grandson and I rented one of the small boats at Woods Canyon. We fished, with fly rods and hopper patterns, along the banks not far from the dock.

Good morning to all- We've been out here in Phoenix for the past year helping with grandkids. They're back in school, and we're heading home back to the Gulf Coast.
We have one last trip planned for up at Greer before we head out- I hope to trouble the lives of a few more trout before we pull onto I-10 and head east.
I appreciate the advice and reports I've read here- helped keep me sane when I couldn't get on the water as much as I'm used to. While here, I did get a big fly box... [Read More]
