Lower Salt River Fishing Guide 🎣

Fishing the Lower Salt River in Arizona is a fantastic spot for fishing, just a short drive from Phoenix. It’s unique because it’s one of the few places in the desert where you can fish for trout in a flowing river. From late October through April, the Arizona Game and Fish Department stocks the river with rainbow trout, making it a great time for trout fishing. You can also catch largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow bass, catfish, carp, and sunfish year-round. Popular fishing spots include Phon D Sutton, Blue Point, and Granite Reef. Whether you prefer fly fishing or using bait like worms and PowerBait, there’s something for every angler. Just remember to check the water flow levels before you go, as they can affect fishing conditions. So grab your gear and enjoy a fun day of fishing at the Lower Salt River!​
