Publisher's Synopsis
The first complete guide to Arizona's trout waters and its important hatches, from one of America's most respected fly-fishing writers. Northern winters are cruel and endless, especially if you're a fly-fisherman. You could always tie flies and rent A River Runs through It for the umpteenth time, but this book offers an escape. Pack up the camper and head for Arizona, where you'll find winter temperatures in the 60s and 70s, cloudless skies, and inexpensive motels. More to the point, you'll discover brilliant and uncrowded trout fishing in a variety of waters, from bottom-release tailwater fisheries to fertile high-desert creeks. In the snow-fed streams and lakes in the north, wild Apache trout rise to the fly year-round. The authors take you to all the best trout waters throughout Arizona and parts of New Mexico. When and where to go, how to get there, what flies to expect on the water, and how best to imitate them--adventurous anglers will find everything they need in Arizona Trout Streams' detailed text, maps, and hatch charts. Includes detailed fly patterns and hatch charts. User-friendly format includes maps, stream data, and driving directions.
