What’s more, we have stocked all those streams right before the Easter weekend, so the fishing should be pretty good. You can fish the creek near the campgrounds, or up by the village of Christopher Creek. You can also take the road toward our Tonto Creek Hatchery, and fish Tonto Creek as well. If you are spin angling, use live night crawlers with little or no weight on the smallest diameter line you can manager. Also, in those small streams, I also like using cane poles (no reel). Those are especially good for youngsters, or those of us who just want to feel young again. Check out this week’s fishing report, and I give a lot more suggestions under “Rory’s Tips.” Rory Aikens Fishing Report Editor Jake;
