The big canyon walls and tall pines made a majestic backdrop for the crystal clear water to weave downstream. The eager, hungry Gila trout were a bonus. We had made a couple of fly changes early, and we found that these native trout preferred a very small Frye Creek Special stripped slowly under the surface. Sight fishing for trout in late November is what makes Arizona a special place. Within a few hours we had each caught a dozen or two fish and started working our way back down stream toward the truck. It had been a few years since I’d fished this creek and it was good to find it in such fine form.
