#apachetrout

The Apache Trout can be found in Arizona in cool Streams. This kind of fish has been endangered for many decades with efforts of keeping the species since the fourties. Highest threats to this kind are currently the hybridization with the rainbow trout as well as forest fires.

Continuing the cycle of conservation with the next generation. Without it, Arizona wouldn’t have a state fish, or at least it wouldn’t be the Apache Trout. @bigazadventures Nice work Sheldon and amazing shot! . . . . . #apachetrout#flyfishing#flyfish#flyandstream#troutfishing#fishing#wyomingflyfishing#flyfishingjunkie#onthefly#flyfishinglife#troutbum#trouthunter#flyfishingcolorado#troutonthefly#catchandrelease#flytying#keepemwet#repyourwater#thetugisthedrug#anglerspeak#fishing#fishinglife#angler#angling#optoutside#flugfiske#montanaflyfishing#fishingdaily#browntrout#troutcandy#flyfishingnation https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kpS3qh7iY/?igshid=1vwpmghn5bc9m

First Apache on the fly. Thanks @bag_of_noodles for guiding me to this place. Fishing for these fish in bipolar weather where one second it’s sunny, the next second, it’s raining makes for a trip that I’ll never forget. I can see why people like @bigazadventures make their way up here as much as they can. @jameson_onthefly beauty dude!🙌🏼🔥 . . . . . #apachetrout#flyfishing#flyfish#flyandstream#troutfishing#fishing#wyomingflyfishing#flyfishingjunkie#onthefly#flyfishinglife#troutbum#trouthunter#flyfishingcolorado#troutonthefly#catchandrelease#flytying#keepemwet#repyourwater#thetugisthedrug#anglerspeak#fishing#fishinglife#angler#angling#optoutside#flugfiske#montanaflyfishing#fishingdaily#browntrout#troutcandy#flyfishingnation https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VQperBeP4/?igshid=19e4h25zgp2it

Soon, my free time chasing Arizona aquatic natives will be replaced by chasing Arizona upland natives. Quail opens on Friday and Mearns in December. Trading out my 3wt for the 20ga. Who else is shifting gears? @bigazadventures beauty of a fish Sheldon.🙌🏼 . . . . . #apachetrout#flyfishing#flyfish#flyandstream#troutfishing#fishing#wyomingflyfishing#flyfishingjunkie#onthefly#flyfishinglife#troutbum#trouthunter#flyfishingcolorado#troutonthefly#catchandrelease#flytying#keepemwet#browntrout#thetugisthedrug#anglerspeak#fishing#fishinglife#angler#angling#optoutside#rainbowtrout#montanaflyfishing#fishingdaily#fishingaddict#troutcandy#flyfishingnation https://www.instagram.com/p/B4K_2tzBPq-/?igshid=18nebgqmvsj2q

Wednesday. First #apachetrout and first ever fish on the fly in Arizona by @az_quail_hunter. Pretty fish from a pretty creek. @bigazadventures pretty fish indeed. 🙌🏼💥 . . . . . #flyfishing#flyfish#flyandstream#troutfishing#fishing#wyomingflyfishing#flyfishingjunkie#onthefly#flyfishinglife#troutbum#trouthunter#flyfishingcolorado#troutonthefly#catchandrelease#flytying#keepemwet#repyourwater#thetugisthedrug#anglerspeak#fishing#fishinglife#angler#angling#optoutside#flugfiske#montanaflyfishing#fishingdaily#fishingaddict#troutcandy#flyfishingnation https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HwJKEhTYl/?igshid=ckdei53a36c4

Apache Trout from the Arizona high country. I’ll take fishing for gold over panning for gold, any day.@bigazadventures sweet shot!📸🙌🏼 . . . . . #apachetrout#wildtrout#flyfishing#flyfish#flyandstream#troutfishing#fishing#wyomingflyfishing#flyfishingjunkie#onthefly#flyfishinglife#troutbum#trouthunter#flyfishingcolorado#troutonthefly#catchandrelease#flytying#keepemwet#repyourwater#thetugisthedrug#anglerspeak#fishing#fishinglife#angler#angling#optoutside#montanaflyfishing#fishingdaily#fishingaddict#troutcandy#flyfishingnation https://www.instagram.com/p/B1AX2tQBmSj/?igshid=ighew71akda5

When the hike in pays off. Apache trout are one of the most rare sub species of trout in the world. I feel pretty darn lucky that some great people put in a lot of hard work so I could see this fish in person. I have been flipping though a lot of trout books lately reading about fish I cant wait to meet in real life and a few sub species no longer around that I wish I could. Thank you to @azgfd @westernnativetrout @troutunlimited and anyone else that has had a part in the preservation of the Arizona native trout. #apachetrout (at Arizona)

Some Arizona mountain gold. It’s awesome to see this rare native trout person and to witness first hand evidence that they are thriving. I hope through conservation efforts my children’s children will still be able to hike into the mountains and hold one of their own. #apachetrout
