Angling is undoubtedly a very fulfilling sport. For lovers of fly fishing, City White Mountains, AZ presents a perfect destination all year round. The fact that there are many lakes in this area, it is an assurance that you will be spoiled for choices of where you want to fish. Besides angling, this destination offers great scenic beauty and excellent recreational amenities ensuring that you will not be bored during your stay.

The greatness of a trip is depended on how good you plan it. The secret is to start early to avoid last minute rush. Make arrangements for your accommodation and transport. You can opt to use the services of a travel agent who can work within your budget.

Confirm whether your license is valid and get it renewed if not. Ensure that your license has a trout stamp as well as this is a standard requirement within the county. Also, check your angling gear and confirm that it is in good condition. Buy enough flies from your local angling shop to last throughout your trip. If you are not a seasoned angler, you may consider taking additional training before you go on your trip or have a professional accompany you.

It is good to note that all lakes are to not open for angling at the same time of the year. Also, the shoreline of some lakes are privately owned and will have to get permission first before you can fish from there. Gather this information in time to help you plan better and decide whether you will need to hire a boat to fish in deep waters as opposed to the shoreline.

It is important to observe angling ethics during your expedition. Always respect private property and make sure you obtain necessary permission before to you start fishing. Treat fellow anglers with respect and avoid disturbing the water unnecessarily or any behavior that may scare the fish away. Before you start angling, make sure that your fishing gear is clean to avoid contamination of the ecosystem. It is possible to transfer fish diseases from one water body to another, so as a good practice, make sure your angling gear is properly cleaned every time you use it.

For some fish species like trout, there is a daily bag limit for adult anglers and youths below 14 years of age. Adhere to these rules which support conservation efforts to make sure that there is constant supply of fish. In addition, confirm with the authorities whether there are any special rules for the lake you want to go angling.

If you catch undersized fish, you need to release them safely to the water. To do so, you need to be gentle when winding your angling line to minimize the severity of injury inflicted on the fish. Also, the use of barbless hooks will reduce the time taken to remove the bait and thus increasing the chances of survival of the fish after release.

If you decide to use a boat for angling, make sure that the motor does not exceed the specified hose power. This ensures that the ecosystem is conserved and that the environment is conducive for other anglers. Failure to observe such rules may lead to cancellation of your angling license.
