Favorite Game Fish "My favorite game fish is steelhead. In fresh water they are the most prized on the west coast. The first run is pretty much all theirs. They pretty much do whatever they want unless you use some heavy heavy tackle. I think people tend to land 1 out of every 3 steelhead they hook. They used to be called the fish of a thousand casts, but if you study the guides and learn from them you can catch alot of steelhead. They are good eating, kind of a cross between a salmon and a trout, they're a rainbow trout but after spending some time in the ocean they kinda taste in-between a salmon and a rainbow trout. They're called steelhead cause there's actually some metal in their head, cause they eat alot of crabs that have alot of natural iron in their shells. Just kidding, actually its because they live in the blue ocean and to camoflouge themselves they adapt to that blue color. When they come out of the ocean theyre like a steel blue on top." -Justan Angler Tell us your favorite game fish and why!

Popular Fishing Rivers in Arizona Colorado River Arizona Fishing When people think of Arizona most think of it as very hot,
very dry, and very desert. The way anglers see it, Arizona is an oasis of good
fishing because many of the fish can eat all year round and can get much bigger.
Arizona's warm waters provide excitement for anglers who are looking for the
prized largemouth black bass. Bass can eat 12 months out of the year and a large
number of them, especially the largemouth bass can reach 8 lbs. or more, while
the bass in the northern states work hard to get over 4 lbs. Arizona lakes and
rivers are well-stocked and the large dams have formed many fishable streams.
