Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted July 21, 2016 My wife is interested in going to a lake she heard of that a person can see big horn sheep from. I told her I though Apache lake is one lake that I have heard of sheep sitings. Can anybody give me some help? I know G$F advertised viewing sheep for a fee I think Lake Meade.....I am not interested in going there, guess just curious for confirmation that sheep can be found around Apache Lake? Thanks for any help, I don't have a tag just wanted to jump on the interest my wife has in seeing the sheep hoping to get to do some fishing along the way!!!

jim Report post Posted July 21, 2016 I think Canyon lake has some boat tours for the sheep. If you have a boat go up in the canyon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted July 21, 2016 Seen them on All the Salt River Lakes , Though at Rosie it was on the west side across from the young turn... Canyon has always been the best IMO to find them though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Will K Report post Posted July 21, 2016 Canyon is your best bet. I think they are rutting right now. Good luck and post pic's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted July 21, 2016 You can also launch on the river at I40 az/cal border and go towards havasu usally lots of sheep in the first big backwater at the start of the no wake area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted July 21, 2016 The most sure fire way to see sheep is driving through morenci 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pixman Report post Posted July 21, 2016 I agree that Canyon Lake is your best bet to see bighorns. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted July 21, 2016 I actually agree with that but I spoiled her last week while fishing reservation lake and watching two turkey hens and a bunch of chicks feed along the bank so now she is luring me to go on a "fishing" trip to see sheep! She really just enjoys seeing different places here in AZ. I am all in with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allforelk Report post Posted July 22, 2016 Canyon and Apache are where I've seen the most. Workman's Creek was definitely the biggest ram I've seen, but that was in the 80's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted July 22, 2016 With a spotting scope you can spot from any of the turnoff on the Apache Trail across the lakes. Burnt corrals campground comes to mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlairHunter Report post Posted July 23, 2016 Take her fishing at lower eagle creek near morenci.. you'll see a ton of bighorns while catching some catfish and smallmouth bass... it's a win win for the both of you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
