Lower Salt Apache Junction, AZ.

Does anyone know about fishing the Lower Salt near Apache Junction Az.?

I was on the lower salt a month ago. Water flow was low but good. The stocked trout in winter is popular with the locals. Thousands of people float the river in the summer. Fishing was slow but I managed to get a single trout. It's not a destination fishery.

Thanks! I will be there doing some car stuff in town and always travel with a flyrod. I just need and hour or two to get my fix. If one pretty trout rises to my dry after a long cast and slow drift...I'll be good...

I was with Jeepster ll . If I were you I wouldn't waste my time but that's me . Depending on where you are in town I'd try Tempe Town Lake . I don't know if there are trout there but from what I've heard and seen on the www it's supposed to be good fishing . GLWYD

I dont know who he is but he has a picture of a walleye trout I remember seeing on another site some months back . It's his feb 24 post . Sure is a sucker fishing fool .

Sonoran Suckers are cagey and good fighters and native to a lot of SW fisheries, they are a hoot on a fly rod! The fly fishermen in that neck of the woods get a lot more quality fly fishing in than one would think.

I met the owner of that blog on a Rim creek one blustery day this winter he’s a good guy.

If it's not a trout , small mouth or a pike I'm not fishing for it . They are welcome to them .

In arizona we call those sonora suckers desert bones. lol. I've caught a few in the gila river but heard they are scarce in the salt due to flatheads feeding on them.
