Arizona Fishing

Thanks for the heads up doug

 

You too! Damn You all are invading my town. Give me a wave if you see my truck.

 

Will do man!

 

What are you working up here for? As nd bring your rod and tackle. F&g has been over stocking they lakes up here about every 3-4 days.

 

Well I have a house up there right next to Show Low Lake so I've got all my stuff there! But I'm going to do some landscaping and prepping a house to list it on the market.

 

Oh got ya. Sweet. Good luck with the house. And definitely fish show low lake. Lots of fish in there right now.

 

Sweet sliders!

 

Haha thanks! I know a guy.

 

You bringing fishing gear ashley?

 

The little I have, yes. I want to learn how to actually catch fish, not just throw bait at them.

 

Put bait in your hand get in the water and put your hand in a hole.

 

I would love to try that some day, but I'll wait till a professional shows me. You should know not to go sticking things in random holes without being safe. That's how you catch stuff you don't want.

 

The difference between me and a professional is a pair of jean overalls with one buckle hooked up and a full set of teeth.

As g or the other comment I like to live dangerously ;D

 

As promised but a little late.
3rd week of May was really nice in the white mountains. We hit Big Lake for a couple days and it was good, some cutthroats and rainbows , but nothing over 15" . The nights were really nice in the upper 30's and near 70 during the day. The wind did flare up and we pushed onto Reservation Lake.
I caught a nice 17" and released 10 others. That lake is something special incredible scenery and solitude.
I got to test out my ARB 50qt fridge and ARKPAK. Never going back to coolers and ice again.after 5 days it performed flawlessly.
Peacock ladies, olive buggers and some caddis patterns were the ticket.
Heading back soon as these heat advisories got me down..

Wow that looks beautiful

 

That looks like a hell of a great trip.

 

Went fishing up at little bear and Hawley lake up in the White Mountains last weekend with the girlfriend and her friends.

Pictures to follow after class if I remember.

Great weather and great views up there.

 

If anyone in Tucson wants to get away for a few hours and get some fishing in, Rose Canyon up in Mt Lemmon is a good option recently. I was up last weekend just screwin around for the day and caught 5 pretty small rainbows in a matter of a couple hours and had another 1000 small strikes haha. It's always crowded with tourists but that doesn't bother me much.

If anyone decides to go, I always have great luck with lures there because everyone else uses powerbait. I was using gold spinner, every color of small mister twister worms, and even some plastic shads. Everything worked!

 

My dad caught this 21in monster rainbow at crescent lake right up next to Big Lake this last weekend! cant wait to go up in 2 weekends!!
