Fishing Report Payson-Forest Lakes?

Recommended Posts

Late ask, the family and I are headed up north to Tonto to cut our Christmas in the AM. 

Is there any decent fishing right now up there? Is it worth taking our poles?

Woodc Canyon, Willow, Tonto Creek?

Last year we tried Haigler Creek on our Xmas tree trip and it had nothing of note.

I would try as you never know. I was at Woods two weeks ago with my son and all they wanted was power eggs on the bottom and it was real slow. I managed two to his four over four hours.

The lake was overflowing at the spillway.

I never pass up a chance to wet a line. Good Luck Harley.

Woods canyon is good for tigers, rainbows put and take have been taken. Butt if you don't mind fishing the green valley park lakes, they have been loaded up with gila trout . We've been catching fish from 14-16". Good luck

I think I might ditch the heat in the valley this week and head to woods canyon. Plenty warm enough to camp if its open up there.

I need to get myself an affordable bass boat. I'd never be home.

Affordable?

Bust 

Out 

Another 

Thousand. 

Just kidding 😂...

There are some decent boats . From around 2500 and up. A trolling motor is definitely needed.

Not the huge bass I was hoping for but a big cat trolling, that's an experience.

Yummy fish tacos tonight
