Paradise Creek Anglers
White Mountain Fly Fishing Report:

Fishing report as of 5 1 08

All Lakes and Streams are open to fishing. Camping restrictions - no camp fires, no primitive camping.

General Fishing Report - Lakes are doing very well. The dry fly action has been significant and exciting. Water temps are warming creating good nymph action. Fishing very early produces the best results, mostly using Damsel nymphs of all stages, and dries elk hair caddis, cahill lights, parachute caddis.

At Paradise Creek Anglers we are within 20 minutes of the streams and lakes. Our fly fishing information is compiled mostly from fly fishermen as well as, Fish & Game in Pinetop and the Apache Reservation. With 40 lakes and 240 miles of fishable streams there are many choices in the White Mountains.
