Apache Trout

Upper Log Rd section of the North Fork of the White River

The shell of a trout's lunch!

Report submitted by: Darin Wallentine

Location: North Fork of the White River, AZ White Mountain Apache Reservation

Details: Fished with Ed Nied for 3 days on the North Fork, near Hawley Lake turnoff and the Upper Log Road. We also fly-fished Earl Park Lake from float tubes. Excellent late summer fly-fishing for Arizona high country. Mostly used dry/droppers with the Pheasant Tail Frostbite size #18 being the HOT fly, once again.

Profile of Silver Creek, AZ Fly Fishing

For fly fishers looking for a destination in Arizona, the obvious choice defaults to Lees Ferry. But for locals and fly fishing residents in Arizona's White Mountain area, Silver Creek is the not so well kept secret. Silver Creek is a spring creek located just east of Show Low Airport. Most attention for Silver Creek is on the hatchery that uses branched areas of the upper creek and are well fenced and posted for fly fishers. The "catch" for Silver Creek is that regulations keep anglers off the creek for the summer months. The creek is open from October until March 31 to keep the pressure off the trout for the warmer months. Check the regulations before venturing to Silver Creek.
