Fly fishing the wonderful state of Arizona

My photo
My name is Antonio, born & raised in the state of Az. I am married with a wonderful wife, beautiful daughter and son. My passion is small stream fly fishing, upland hunting and canyoneering. Ten years ago I was a fly fishing guide in the White Mountains in Arizona. In my opinion, fishing here is absolutely fantastic. My favorite thing to do is hunt for big browns in these small waters. Please practice catch and release!

Chunk and Benjamin were the best hunting friends I ever had. We miss you guys dearly.




OAK CREEK

A picture of me 16 years ago!

CANYON CREEK

It was a beautiful day on the creek. I started fishing around 8am and fished until 6pm. It was windy most of the day,but fishing was fair to good. I love this creek for its beauty and tranquility.



This is what fish used to look like 15 years ago,way before he fires. 15"-22" trout were common.

Victor and I recently went fly fishing up to EAST CLEAR CREEK. There's nothing better then hunting and sight fishing for browns.
We caught a lot of fish that day. Victor caught the biggest brown thanks to me so 50% of that fish is mine!



I recently started fishing for common carp & koi. I could get addicted to this type of fishing.


My wife is about to give birth to my son. I feel like I've aged overnight!

Victor scares me!
