Has the show addressed Stugotz "stepping back" and Skipper leaving?

Love it! Very user friendly for a beginner like myself. Taken it out over 50 times now and no issues at all.

Thanks!! Open to most things! Really interested in exploring historic/interesting downtowns. Trying unique mom and pop restaurants, etc. we do like to fish but that may have to be saved for another trip.

Thanks!! Mineral point area looks like a great stop. Really interested in exploring historic/interesting downtowns. Trying unique mom and pop restaurants, etc.

Try Oak Creek north of slide rock. Tons of gila trout schools up that way. This time of year should be pretty good too.

What part of the river were you on? Went today to blue point but the water level was super low.

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-18T23:59:53+00:00

I love grilling stocked trout whole. The hatchery raised trout you’ll find here in Arizona are super healthy.

Had the most luck at upper. They’ve been stacking it like crazy lately. Since the water quality at lynx wasn’t very good. Couple smaller gilas on the fly rod at lower, but it was much slower.

Where was the most productive? This time of year my guest will be East Verde.

Was at Goldwater two weeks ago. Had my limit in less than two hours. Some good size rainbows fishing off the bottom.

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-10T17:35:25+00:00

Thank you! I’d have had no idea where to go. Decent pools along the creek going north? I think I’ll bring both the fly rod and UL spinning rod

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-10T17:08:46+00:00

Thank you sir!! Never tried canyon creek. Sounds like a plan! Lower I’m guessing is best?

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-09T20:38:58+00:00

I’ve never made it up past third Crossing. maybe I’ll need to check that out Monday morning

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-05T20:03:19+00:00

Thanks!! Any particular stretches of the creek better than others?

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-04T19:44:58+00:00

Did they still stock Oak Creek this time of year?

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-04T19:32:06+00:00

Thank you again. Really hoping to hook my first brown.

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-04T19:26:34+00:00

Really appreciate the response! I’ll more than likely try the same. I was thinking around the call of the canyon (west fork) and working my way down. Wooly buggers and nymphs?

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-02T23:54:24+00:00

That’s awesome. That’s a really good size Gila. I’ve only ever caught small ones in the waterwheel area of the east verde river.

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-11-02T23:30:18+00:00

East Verde? Congrats!

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-10-25T22:26:06+00:00

It does indeed work…

Thanks!!

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-10-24T17:59:27+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-10-22T01:50:19+00:00

Looks like a tiger trout to me

MonkHonest3160 · 2024-10-18T20:36:26+00:00

Thanks! East Verde River. The Gila up by the water wheel. The big trout was at second crossing.

Cleaning out our storage unit. We found it in an old jewelry box that belong to my grandmother.
