There are actually several locations in both AZ and NM with Gila trout, which have been stocked since at least 2000. All of them are not opened to fishing yet, but Frye Mesa has been opened since 2011. New Mexico also has waters open to Gila trout fishing. In addition to the WM res, the Little Colorado near Greer has Apache trout fishing, as do several other streams on state controlled land. On Apache as I said Not many and Most reside on the reservation, did not say you could not catch them on state controlled land ... I have caught and released dozens off the little Colorado and Lee Valley (also caught quiet a few grayling there) ... As far as Gila , it has been a while since I have looked into them and did just see( according to a G&F article ) that they did in fact transplant a surplus from NM into Frey Mesa on February 27, 2011 and a 1 fish limit was set on the lake. They say they are on closed waters but I know the previous attempt ( I believe around 1990 )50 grew to about 150 fish and By 92 they were gone. Wonder what the numbers in the reservoir versus the creek are like. thanks for the info on the Gila

Big Browns ... NONE OF THE GAME FISH WE ALL GO AFTER ARE NATIVE SPECIES ... as far as Trout go The Apache and Gila are the only ones that were Native to Arizona .... Gila Trout never that populous have not been reported in AZ for several decades, and there are not many places (most on the WMAR) you will catch Apache trout and even then it is rare you would catch many.

TOBY what needs to give is cutting away all the FAT from the top (The School Board and Admin) ... The concept behind 123 and use of State Trust Funds IMO is not the problem and not a bad one ... but too many other sneaky provisions written into the bill, plus History shows we can not count on our government to execute such a plan and not abuse it costing Future generations of students and schools lost funding ... If it were to pass, I doubt even 2% of the $$$$ would ever make it to the teachers and classrooms.

Where you seeing a Brown ? I only see a Cutthroat and rainbow p.s. Vowell, both great looking fish

Family has had 5 Rebuilds done by Trail Transmission (East Mesa) over the last 23 years or so .... Last was about 5 years ago and still running strong. Back then it was good prices and great service doubt it has changed.

You can Always use recreation.gov or reserveamerica.com and find most established public campgrounds and freecampsites.net for a little more primitive dispersed camp sites.

Good Boots and Ankle wraps/braces make a world of difference in that unit or any rough country hiking area .... break them in good and put some mole skin in your pack just in case.

Not having picked up a bow in 20+ years (soon to change), I have spent a lot of time in that unit during that time of year. IMO opinion it is one of the few Units you can count on the peak Rut happening around the time all the experts say it should 5 - 10 days before or after the Fall equinox .. That gives you a window of Sept 13 - Oct. 3rd for peak ... Sure you will see smaller bulls running cows in late August and Early September . The later into September you go, you will start seeing the bigger guys slip in chasing the small guys away. Great Unit and Hunt sure you will have a blast.

Probably ... and I would be betting the show was required to have at least one Black contestant and one Woman .... He must have been the best of the Black applicants

Wow ! that guy was pathetic ... Did not even try, three women worked harder than him .. How did he not know what he was getting into or terrain... did he not watch the 1st season? Bad named for our Armed Forces and ARMY especially ... Guy does not represent AZ IMO

CREE is the manufacturer of the LEDs in the light bar ... But not a manufacturer of the light bar ... was wanting the Brand of entire light bar as 100's of manufacturers Build light bars with CREE LEDs

Any Brand Info ... is it just the bar or have everything needed to hook up ?

exactly this ... Helped out many and only a couple never gave feedback .... I find it much easier to share with those who contribute to the site. As far as starting Points the "where to Hunt " on AZGFD website has all you need to start for any unit.

I am still a little upset they changed the name of Squaw Peak ...

I see no issue with it other than I am sick of the focus of politics being on social BS and trying to appease Those who choose to fly under a banner of being a Minority ... You are American or You are not American seems pretty simple... As long as the label of minority keeps getting them handouts, attention and the power of the few to change the will of the many with our corrupt PC government ... They will never realize that they are just American. Social Politics needs to end and our elected official should be working on the real issues that can make substantial change in the quality of life for all Americans ... You can put who ever you want on a bill and it does not mean a dang thing if at the end of the week you do not have any left. p.s. Harriet Tubman would make 90% of the so called men in the last couple generations look like little girls ! Brain Surgery while Biting a Bullet !

Betting you will have to do like most .. Drive up the young road and pull off the side by the 260 ... Verizon and a booster will give you some areas with good reception but still limited in most of the unit.

I look at what I share like clearance levels ... Joe Blow post one - Go to AZGFD where to Hunt ... Start There Newish active member - may post local start points outside what G&F offer that are really no secret. Active members that have contributed for a couple years plus - PM with a little more specific info to Very specific info and ask them to keep it close to the cuff. The reality is. Any Hunter using G&F "where to Hunt" info as a starting point + google earth, a couple tanks of gas, a couple weekends, and some decent miles on the boots should find opportunity for a fun and possibly successful hunt. Have not been down to 36B for a few years and This year will be a big group of us hitting it hopefully .. So will see if much of the info I have shared for down there has led to spots being overrun. The funny thing is I find myself more tight lip about my fishing spots than hunting.

Now that is Funny Right there

Wow, I wouldn't have thought a bald eagle would bother with swallow babies! Neat sighting. It was one of the craziest things I have seen in Nature as it really did seem as he went after the swallows nest out of pure rage and frustration after losing the fish ... We had slept on the boat overnight and it was not long after sun up that the eagles arrived .. was cool watching 2 of the young birds make several failed attempts at grabbing a fish before Pops swooped down and yanked a nice size carp out ... You could tell he was onto the buzzards and stood guard as the 3 tore into the carp but within minutes the buzzards had all chasing them while the other snagged the fish ( that was what I found so amazing as it did seem like it was very well planned )

A couple years ago we seen a Big Male teaching and helping 3 young ( could not have been flying very long) catch and feed on fish... The young were feeding a large carp on a stump at the back of Salome at Roosevelt, when 4 of 5 buzzards tactically lured them and daddy away from their catch while the 5th flew in the back door and stole their breakfast... This Left The Male very upset , at which time he decided to take it out on the mud nests and I believe Swallows that line the dirt cliffs... he bombarded about a half dozen nests feeding on the young birds inside. 15 years ago it seemed like you would only see a couple of the few pair nesting up in the Tonto end of the lake ... The last couple years we see them all over the lake from tonto to Salt... and seeing them is always an awe inspiring moment. Been a While but use to always fish under a pair at Horseshoe Cienega who had their nest in the tall dead pine right close to shore on the North East shore across from the boat launch... Been a few years but I am betting they are still hanging around.

Always an awesome site ... the eagle population and ranges have been growing well ... they can be seen at pretty much all over the northern half of state now days even seen one around the Elliot and Elsworth area in Mesa about a month ago ....

Well obviously he was addressing the individuals who were in fact familiar with his group and were in fact speaking ill of him personally. Come on, you can't expect that we was refering to EVERYONE on that post, you're more intelligent than that. If you can't understand why a guy would be upset and then judge 9200 people by his being upset.. your view is a tad narrow. Its pretty plain if you can read, what I am here about, a few punk kids running their mouths about people they don't know. It's not my group, I am a memeber and admin on the group. I have been a member here since 2004 and I'm going to have some fun around here again now too. Donnie the thread was a rant about e-scouters and individuals putting blindly into the draw and getting lucky ... The group was brought out as an example and because it was there that the OP got wound up and decided to rant. There were just as many posts about e scouters in general as there were about the group and I do not recall a post singling out Mr. Brigham or Jbee or whoever he is ... until after he came onboard. There were some comments on experiences other individuals had with that group ... but the theme was E-scouters Not Broadhead Brohood ...

I do not see what you are defending. He walked into a topic , one that had several people, like me, not even aware of the group , and calling people bitches ... That was enough of a first impression for me to not care much for the Bro Hood . Leading anything , or representing anything for that point, you are going to have opposition and ridicule. It is how you handle those situations that will either support or help negate the negative rhetoric... His reply gave the rest some validity IMO. Have fun in your Group.

@ donniedent ... I had never heard of Broadband Brotherhood prior to yesterdays post ( not on facebook much at all ) ... What I will say, is that Jbee or whatever the heck his name is missed an opportunity to show civility and class in regards to your group ... First impressions are important and he did not give a good one with his first post in that thread. He started a pissing match and kept it going and from the sound of it .. anyone acting like that on your group would have been excommunicated , booted , given their walking papers. I can be an butt as much as the next guy , but I am not representing anyone but myself. He IMO is representing any and all who claim to be in your brotherhood.
