Fishing At Ash Creek Arizona
I've got limited information on Ash Creek as of now, hopefully users with help out with this page. Ash Creek has two pros that I found while researching it. One it has native Apache Trout. Two It has a pretty famous water fall that hikers like to go and check out. It's located in Stafford Arizona.
On the Game and Fish site it says they have 5 fishable miles
On the US forest service site they say "If you like to fish for trout, you’ll be interested to know that pools in the middle reaches of Ash Creek hold populations of native Apache trout. Ash Creek is not a large stream, so the fish are small, but they’re wild and feisty nevertheless. If you come with that in mind, you’ll enjoy the fact that they are quite a challenge to catch.
Since this prominent drainage has long been used as a major travel route up the mountain, it has also accumulated a number of historic relics. Along the trail are remains of an old sawmill and a logging flume, as well as boilers for steam engines used by loggers. These rusty artifacts serve as evidence that this area was used for timber harvest before modern transportation methods made it cheaper to haul lumber from areas where it could be harvested more economically."
