Oak Creek Canyon - Wild Brown Trout (Sedona, AZ)

As a brief respite from my time in the 'dry heat' desert hellscape known as Scottsdale (AZ), I found myself up in the beautiful, majestic, and incredible red rock scenery in and around Sedona. Entering into the Oak Creek Canyon, I began fishing this wonderful spring-fed Wild Brown Trout fishery. Catching 10 or so Wild Browns up to 10 or 11 inches as well as a Stocked Bow over the course of a few hours (using single barbless hook spinners), I cannot say enough good things about Oak Creek and the surrounding area. Whether driving through Coconino National Forest, hiking through the Oak Creek Wilderness Areas, fishing Oak Creek, or walking the quaint (but tourist-y) streets of Sedona, I had a truly unforgettable time.
