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 |

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. -- Ken Fortenberry |

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 Chuck Vance (btw, that's *Mr.* Wisenheimer to you) |

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. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry |

And no Mexican food either! Okay, now you're getting downright evil. -- Frank Reid Euthenize to respond |
