Where is a good spot to take my kids? - city lake in DT Payson - East Verde River near 260 - Kohl's Ranch area Somewhere else? trying to be within 20-30 min of Payson.

ready2hunt Report post Posted October 1, 2016 Tonto creek is always my first choice. It can be fished out quick but it's safe and you can catch your limit within an hour of it's been stocked that week. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmoto Report post Posted October 2, 2016 Might be a little late. But, if you guys are still around tomorrow...try and hike in between 2nd and 3rd Crossing north of Water Wheel. Some small black and yellow Panther Martins or light bobber and night crawler will put you on trout in any eddy on the Verde right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
