In this revised, updated, and expanded edition, authors Meck and Rohmer examine the state's trout waters impacted in recent years by floods, drought, and forest fires, such as Canyon and Cibecue creeks, the lower portion of the Salt River, and the Colorado and Upper Verde rivers. Coverage of many of the lakes has also been revised, and several lakes in central and southern Arizona have been added to round out this comprehensive, detailed guide. 50 black & white photos, 20 maps, resources, index.

Fly Fishing Adventure: Arizona Lees Ferry Trout

Amazon Price: $17.96 (as of 06/01/2012)

LOCATION: The Colorado river below Glen Canyon Dam encompassing the Marble Canyon. Absolutely breath-taking in its beauty and pristine crystal clear cold water with a remarkable population of healthy rainbow trout. Lees Ferry is managed as a trophy trout fishery and the river yields rainbow trout from 16 to 22 inches. And larger. Strong beautiful fish. Some people describe the Colorado River at Lees Ferry as "the world's largest spring creek." In reality, it's a massive, clear running tailwater fishery running 15.5 miles from the outflow of Lake Powell at Glen Canyon Dam to the upper end of the Grand Canyon. GUIDES: Expert guides Terry Gunn & Jeff English from Lees Ferry Anglers. FLY TYING: Jim Watt ties a Zebra Midge, a particularly effective fly on the Colorado River. This DVD is a great way to enjoy and learn about one of America's great fisheries, that fishes just the same if not better today, than it did decades ago.
