Black River, AZ Fly Fishing Report

Fly fished the Black River in the Apache National Forest. We parked near the junction of County Road 24 and 83 and hiked west to the river. Caught 4 Browns, with the largest being a 12 incher. Used a dry/dropper set up with one taking a Royal Stimulator and three taking the VFG Nymph (brown and amber). Reports from my fishing buddies encouraged me to venture down to areas on the lower part of the Black, but due to the hike into this area, we had to postpone that trek for a later time.

East Carson River, CA Fly Fishing Report **September 15, 2010**

Date: 9-15-2010, 1 to 5:30 PM
Results: Two rainbows 14" and 12"
Method: Two fly nymph rig and caught both fish on the bottom fly, #16 bead head Prince Nymph.
Location: On highway 4 just north of the of the hwy 89 split.
Fishing was unexpectedly slow this afternoon, even when I switched to my dry-dropper set-up, which was successful on the 13th. After catching the two fish within the first 45 minutes I expected a more productive afternoon. Guess I should have caught the two fish and then taken a nap!
