Rim Streams
Rating - Good
Thursday, Sep 29 2022
This report will apply to all the streams in the Mogollon Rim area outside of Payson, including Canyon Creek, Christopher Creek, Haigler Creek, Tonto Creek, and Horton Creek. AZGF Stocking of Rainbow Trout unless otherwise indicated. Target the slower and deeper pools. Creeks are flowing high and muddy. Stocking has continued for the year. Small spinners, crickhoppers, or powerbait and night crawlers will work. Fly fisherman should try dry dropper rigs with natural colored bead head nymphs below. A stimulator dry with a bead head pheasant tail or hares ear is hard to beat on most of the streams. For bigger browns try Tonto or Canyon Creek. Be stealthy and hike far to find the bigger fish.
