Rainbow Trout Fishing
Lees Ferry is a renowned trophy rainbow trout fishery with fish over 22 inches caught with some regularity. Floating or sinking flies, such as nymphs, streamers, or dry flies, are popular choices for fly anglers targeting rainbow trout. These giant trout can also be caught using worms, salmon eggs, prepared baits, small spinners, spoons, jerkbaits and small crankbaits in vibrant colors to mimic prey. Use the lightest fishing line for the best possible results, based on conditions. Excellent fisheries management by the Arizona Game and Fish Department has helped to maintain a good population of trophy rainbow trout. Fishing for rainbow trout is a unique experience here. Fishing from a boat is the preferred method, however anglers fishing from the bank can also have success. Trolling with lures or flies behind a boat, casting near shoreline structures, or still fishing with bait can all yield success. Adjusting lure size, color, and retrieve speed can enhance chances of enticing these colorful and spirited fish.
