Gila Trout
Venturing into the high country around Show Low offers the unique chance to pursue the native Gila Trout. Found in a few select streams and reservoirs in the White Mountains, this beautifully colored trout is a prized catch. Spring and early summer, after the snowmelt subsides, and again in the fall, before the first heavy snows, are the best times to fish. These fish are sensitive to water temperature, so early mornings and late evenings are often most productive during the warmer months. A practical tip: Access to some of the best Gila Trout waters requires hiking, so be prepared for some physical exertion. Small spinners, dry flies, and nymphs are all effective. Remember to check the Arizona Game and Fish Department regulations for specific stream closures and license requirements. The Gila Trout is a conservation success story, so practice catch and release to help ensure its continued survival.
