Fishing At Diamond Creek Arizona

Varying in elevation from 5,600 feet to 7,500 feet, Diamond Creek courses through huge grassy meadows and stands of tall spruce, aspen and ponderosa pine. Beyond a doubt, it is one of Arizona's most scenic fishable waterways.

If you follow the waterway far enough, it will branch into the Little Diamond. Usually you'll only find smaller fish there. Note that much of this stream is also on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation; make sure to get proper permits. -G.J. Sagi, from the essential travel handbook Fishing Arizona

Directions to Diamond Creek Arizona

To reach Diamond Creek's rainbow, brown and Apache trout populations, take State Route 73 between Whiteriver and Hon-Dah. Turn east on Indian Route 25 (dirt), and in a few miles it will begin to parallel the creek. In all, there are about 11 fishable miles to Diamond Creek, though that will vary from year to year. The Drought of 1999-2000 is a good example of how important it is to check ahead, especially in Arizona when visiting less popular waterways like Diamond Creek. That year the stream pretty much dried up in several sections, though the summer of 2000 monsoons certainly helped. -G.J. Sagi, from the essential travel handbook Fishing Arizona
