Come Fish Rim Country!

Picture
Our three urban lakes  in Green Valley Park are stocked with trout from mid-October until May. All year there are Sunfish, Crappie and Large Mouth Bass too.

Nearby streams and lakes within 6-30 miles offer a wide range of gorgeous scenery and various kinds of trout.  Here is a Gila Trout from the East Verde River.  These native trout are unique to Rim Country.

Our club is focused on fishing, but many of us are also part of our local Trout Unlimited Chapter too.  The East Verde River is where we focus most of our efforts, but we are active in any issue related to trout habitat.  Click the link above for more information.  You can be a member of TU, Payson Flycasters, or both if you are interested in supporting local trout fishing.
