Heat Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Fishing and Camping trip on the Rim was a total success. Found a semi-secluded camping spot near Bear Canyon Lake where we got away from most of the numbskulls. We were still close enough to hear the idiots firing their automatic weapon until 11 PM the first night, but we survived until they ran out of ammo. What kind of idiot shoots at night anyway? Especially when there are numerous sign all over prohibiting target shooting! Other than that we really had a nice relaxing weekend. Got to run my own wall tent and stove for the first time which was pretty cool. My one year old daughter's first camping trip and she seemed to do just fine. As far as the fishing I only made it to the Lake once but some folks from our group made it a total of 3 times and we/they caught fish every time. First cast within 3 minutes or so and my cousin had one on. I managed to catch a few too, so I was very satisfied. Worms were working on the stocked rainbows but one or two fish seemed much chunkier and maybe held-over from last year. All in all a great trip! No grip and grin worthy fish pics, but I do have one or two of the campsite with my baby I can post later. Thanks! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat Report post Posted May 26, 2015 You may be confused with Chevelon Canyon Lake or they changed the rules or something. I could find no such regulation in any publication. The lake description on the Game and Fish website even recommends a worm and bobber. Pretty sure we did the right thing. http://www.gf.state.az.us/h_f/documents/BearCanyonLakeGeneralDescriptionFoyer.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted May 26, 2015 Glad you had a good time. I want to not say anything but..... Can't do it. Putting I took my 1 year old camping and listened to automatic gun fire til 11pm and total success doesn't fit. This doesnt bode well for family fun in the hills. Sorry this happened, I wish more Leo would be up on big weekends busting idiot people like this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
