This is some of the most exciting surface action for trout a fly or spin angler can experience. If you don’t know the Ferry, get a guide. If you do know it, just get there. Don’t worry about the air temperatures; the chilly water and deep shadows of Marble Canyon Gorge will keep your goose bumps alive and well, especially in the cooler mornings. This is the first quarter of a waxing moon, making it a superb time for night fishing in the desert lakes, or the more accessible mountain lakes as well. tip for mountains anglers fishing for trout at night is to consider what trout love to eat – flying insects. If you can somehow have a light positioned just above the water to attract those insects, they will in turn attract trout. We used to hang lanterns from our boats, inner tubes etc. and then fish from shore (to stay out of the insects). There are so many floating lights available now that you can simply take your pick. I like the LED ones – they don’t ruin your night vision, which is important if you want to watch the stars, satellites and possibly shooting stars in the night sky. Even with spinning gear you can use casting bubbles or floats and have a leader (even a tapered fly leader) with something like a wooly bugger attached. The old standby, worms, can work well under a bobber. Get the youngsters to catch a container full of grasshoppers and you just might experience hungry trout jumping on hoppers. By the way, for those of you who are outside on the evening of July 9, Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth for all of 2008. For more information, visit http://spaceweather.com. In the desert lakes, the best night fishing is for catfish and carp. You are allowed two hooks per line – with bottom fishing; you’ll want to take advantage of that legal opportunity. Set on hook up with a catfish bait, such as a hot dog or stink bait, and the other with a carp bait, such as corn or dough balls. Try to find a shallow flat adjacent to the main body of the lake, or a major point. Catfish and carp patrol at night for food. You’ll want to attract them on their rounds. Try chumming with whatever bait you are using. Bottom feeders are attracted by scent. For boat anglers, I have super reports for night crappie fishing at Alamo toward the dam using live minnows and small jigs. I have mixed reports for crappie anglers at Roosevelt and Bartlett. This is also the time of year to fish for warmwater species in the high country. For walleye, try Show Low Lake or Fool Hollow; they are both located in the city limits of Show Low. There are bass and crappie in Willow Springs Lake on the Rim. Upper Lake Mary near Flagstaff also has walleye, but it is usually night anglers who tie into the larger ones. Those heading to Lake Mary will want to take along some frozen anchovies for the huge northern pike. Speaking of frozen anchovies, one angler recently asked how to keep unfrozen anchovies on the hook. I don’t even try to. Once they become soft and soggy, they take on a different name and function – chum. By the way, my old friend Mike Walker, of the Walker Agency, an outdoor industry PR firm in Scottsdale, took his grandchildren fishing and provided the following: I took my granddaughter, 10, and grandson,7, on their first fishing trip during all the hoopla about National Fishing and Boating Week. It was around the time of the free fishing day. They both loved it and Abby is quite a caster now. I did all the right things, took them to Sportsman’s Warehouse, bought them their own gear and the right stuff they’d need. I’d explain to them what the stuff was, and then they made their own selections. I didn’t drop a line, but they sure did and we fished Willow Springs. They experienced nibbles and bait-stealing, but didn’t catch anything. And it didn’t seem to make a difference to either of them. They just loved being outdoors and fishing. Abby of course had to explore the shoreline where she found a bunch of fishing line, rusty hooks, bobber and one old crankbait. On the way home, she asked if we could stop at Wal-Mart as she wanted to see if they sold the same lure that she found; she was curious about it. Mike Walker Walker Agency So follow Mike’s example and get your young relations out fishing, hiking, camping or whatever in the outdoors. They might forget the last video game they played, but they will always remember a camping, fishing or hiking trip. Go catch some memories. Maybe I’ll see you out there. Crayfish Preparation Tips By popular demand, once again here are some simple crayfish preparation tips. Bring the water to a boil, take the water off the heat, put in the crayfish. Do not put the pot back on the heat. When the crayfish turn bright red, they are done. A variation on this theme is adding a packet of crab boil that you can purchase at just about any supermarket. Crayfish are small and the best meat is in the tail (just like lobster). So select your favorite recipes for using crab, and simply substitute crayfish. If you don’t have crab crackers, use a pair of pliers from your camp tool kit. A cool crayfish pasta salad (pre-dice your celery and other ingredients at home) provides a delightful accompaniment to a trout dinner in camp. You might even boil some corn, then add the crayfish to the corn water once you are done. Crayfish typically take less than five minutes to cook, even off the heat. Corn on the cob and crayfish just seem to go together. Also, you might want to save the corn husks and use them to wrap your trout when placing them in thick tin foil (double layered) for cooking under the campfire coals. The corn husks keep the fish from burning and sticking to the tin foil. Or wrap chicken and vegetables together in corn husks and tin foil -- no pots to clean afterward. Hunt -- use a shovel to put the coals (you can take along charcoal briquettes to make the job easier) over the foil dinners for cooking. I usually dig a small hole and it becomes a ready-made oven. Bon appétit! Central Arizona URBAN LAKES -- The last of eight, every-other-week spring catfish stockings was the week of June 23-28. With lake temperatures climbing rapidly towards 90 degrees and air temperatures well above 100, it becomes impractical to haul live fish into Arizona’s Urban lakes. No fish stockings will be scheduled during July, August and the first half of September. Fall catfish stockings will resume in mid-September after lake and weather conditions improve enough to safely transport and stock catfish once again. Anglers can still fish for catfish, bass and bluegill at Urban waters throughout the summer, but the action is generally slower. Urban fishing report: Fishing for catfish should still be pretty good, so the urban lakes provide a good opportunity for anglers who want to avoid high gas prices this holiday weekend. Anglers are having luck using stink baits or shrimp fished on the bottom. Sunfish continue to bite well on small worms fished under a bobber. The cool weather is keeping lake temperatures low allowing fish to be active throughout the day.

  • Equipment and Rigging for Steelhead Preparing for the Spring Fishing Season
    Equipment and Rigging for Steelhead Preparing for the Spring Fishing Season by Jason Swingen ne of the biggest hurdles to over- come when getting into steel- Oheading is picking out the right tools for the job. This is especially true if you are coming from spin fshing, where your rods are easily labeled, from light to heavy, and moderate to fast. Then you decide to get your frst fy rod and you are hit with terms like 1-12 weight (power of the rod, or weight of the line), weight- forward (a specifc fy line taper), tippet (fancy term for “even more leader”), and strike indicators (an advanced air flled spherical device built to sense underwa- ter activity -- also known as “a bobber”). Fly fshing can be thought of as an over- complicated form of spin fshing, so it is only ftting that the terminology is equal- ly as complex. Everyone has their own ideas on their fa- vorite brands and styles of fshing gear, but for the most part, the equipment used by 90% of anglers on the North and South Shore is all quite similar. In this article I’ll go over rods, reels, line, fies, indicators, nets, and the rest of the gear you should have if you are getting into steelheading, upgrading your cur- rent gear, or are looking for a gift for the steelheader in your family! Rod The most popular rod for fshing steel- head on the tributaries of Lake Superior is a 7wt or 8wt, fast action, fy rod. When I frst got into fy fshing, I heard that a 5wt is the most versatile fy fshing rod, but didn’t realize that they meant for trout and not necessarily for steelhead.
