About Salt River
Salt River cuts through Arizona, United States and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Salt River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For Channel catfish
Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
