fly fishing in AZ
 

I will be heading to AZ for the next 3 months and was wondering if there are
very many good fly fishing opportunities there. I will be mainly in Tucson,
but should have the chance to travel throughout the state. Any suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dustin

Arizona is a complete freakin' wasteland.

Indeed. Imagine someone thinking they could find waters to flyfish
in that stinking desert.

The resident wisenheimers are giving you a hard time because just
a few threads up the list is a Trip Report (TR) from Sedona, AZ.
Look for the Subject: Semi-OT: Sedona TR (with pics).

I believe there are also some tailwaters that hold trout and there's
always warmwater fishing. We spent a week in Sedona one fall a few
years ago before riding down into the Grand Canyon on mules. I didn't
have a fly rod along but the best trout water I saw on the whole trip
was running right alongside Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand
Canyon.

Gee, did you have to ruin the thread by being heplful? ;-) Well
since you started it, here's a page that should get him pointed in the
right direction: http://www.gf.state.az.us/h_f/edits/..._fishing.shtml

I could have said one's a dumbass, yuppie beer snob and the
other one's worse, a republican, but I'm in a generous and
gregarious mood this morning. ;-)

Actually, for high desert fishing in the Southwest I recommend
New Mexico. Sedona was just too crystal, vortex, New Age, pink
jeep, cute and crowded for my taste. I don't like to vacation
where traffic jams are commonplace. It was nice enough but we
won't be going back. Taos, New Mexico, on the other hand ...
well, never mind ... there are no trout around Taos. ;-)

Er ... I think you missed his point. He was making fun of *you*
calling us out because we were being smartasses.

The irony-meters were pegging all across ROFF on that one.

I can't really disagree with you on the vortex, etc. I was talking
with some of the locals, and it's gotten so expensive to live there that
the "real" Sedona residents have been driven out by the damyankee
Birky-wearing, sprout-eating, wine-drinking snobs.

But then again, for me Sedona is really just a jumping-off-place for
exploring the area.
