Arizona might be a dry state but it has some great fishing in its many reservoirs, lakes and strea,s.

Many of Arizona’s mountain lakes and streams attract fly fishers chasing trout, including native Apache trout.

Arizona gives anglers opportunities to catch a variety of warmwater and coldwater species.

We’ve included our full guide to Arizona fishing licenses too. Stay tuned for more Arizona fishing articles to be added to this page soon.
