Apache Trout
Pinetop-Lakeside, nestled in the White Mountains, is a prime location for pursuing Apache trout in Arizona. What makes this area special is its proximity to numerous pristine streams and lakes that hold these native trout. The Black River system, easily accessible from Pinetop-Lakeside, is a great starting point. Look to fish the West Fork or East Fork of the Black River. The best time to target Apache trout here is typically late spring through early fall (May-October), avoiding the high runoff periods in early spring. Remember to check the specific regulations for each stream, as some may be catch-and-release only. A local tip: early mornings and late evenings often produce the best results. Also, be prepared for changing weather conditions at these higher elevations. Before you go, research the flows and conditions, as some areas can be challenging to access depending on the season.
