Shoveling snow after a big storm is a lot of work, but I am always happy to do it because I know big snows are critical to recharging our lakes and streams. Last summer was a tough year for all the Rim Country streams, except for the East Verde River, which is primarily fed by a pipeline coming from the C.C Cragin Reservoir. Last year, the East Verde ran at a very strong flow for a good portion of the year because the reservoir had quite a bit of water in it.

The boat trip up and back to the fishing locations gives you a chance to take in the canyonâs beauty; and catching trout with this backdrop canât be beaten. The Lees Ferry blue ribbon rainbow trout fishery is a treasure. ....
