Fishing Arizona

Whether you prefer lakes, streams, creeks or urban fishing, a year-long season and a wide variety of sport fish species provide Arizonans with plenty of great fishing opportunities.

Here is a video of a recent incentive trout stockings in the high country in early July. These are incentive trout and exceptionally huge. However, nearly every week, the Game and Fish is stocking healthy and fiesty 8-10 inch long rainbows that are fun to catch and perfect for the camp stove. But who knows, you might land one of the lunkers. (Read the story and locations of the incentive stocking here.)
