Zuni River

Flowing through Arizona, United States, Zuni River is a stream that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Zuni River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Zuni River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.
