Fishing At Bear Canyon Lake Arizona
Bear Canyon Lake is another popular lake in the White mountains to limit out on rainbow trout and to see spectacular scenery. The lake is also popular for Artic graylings. The lake is still stocked at least 5 times a year with Rainbow trout.
The Lake is long and narrow with thick forest surrounding the lake. There are two parking areas, both require a short walk to the shore.
