Silver Creek

Silver Creek is a stream flowing through Arizona, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Silver Creek, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

• 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 Apache trout

  Apache trout often feed in riffles and pocket water, so focus your presentations in these areas with an upstream cast and natural drift.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
