APACHE TROUT

"ARIZONA'S STATE FISH"

Fishing for Apache Trout | Chronology

The White Mountains boast one of the only two trout species
native to Arizona. The Apache trout (Oncorhynchus Apache)
is presently only existing in the scenic mountainous lakes
and streams of Arizona's White Mountains.

The Apache trout is gold in color, faded coloring along it's sides.
Gold and red(certain times of the year) highlight the tips
of the fins. Characteristics of the fish include larger fins
than normally found on these species of sport fish with a
very large adipose fin.  Black irregular spots cover most
of it's body.

Adult fish typically range from 8 to 15 inches.  However,
trophy fish may range from 16 to 24 inches and weigh up
to 6 pounds.

We invite you to fish with us for the unique challenge
the Apache trout offers.
