Where in AZ are you river fishing? I'm down in the valley and don't know of any rivers really. Nice fish!

What are the temps there

Air temps are int eh 80s water temps on the big lakes are mid 50s  some areas are just hitting 60s some fish just started to bed this week on the big lakes. Quite a few 8-10lbers being caught on trout swim baits and bedding fish.

Looks like in the Salt Cedar Trees in Roosevelt Lake, Most likely the Salt River or the Tonto Creek Areas. Roosevelt is feed by two separate river systems feeding into the lake. I fish these areas all year long, both are Great and Summer Winter Time fishing locations. Roosevelt is feed by two separate River Systems feeding into the lake. Smaller Aluminum Boats are much better equipped to push thru the Salt Cedar Trees. Flipping and Pitching is the way to fish all year long in these areas.

 

The Salt River once flowed freely from the higher elevations around Phoenix as it ultimately made its way to the Valley of the Sun Greater Phoenix area. Roosevelt Lake was created in 1911 with the completion of the Roosevelt Dam on the Salt River. At the time, Roosevelt Dam was the world's tallest masonry dam at about 280 feet high and Roosevelt Lake was the largest man made lake in the world. In 1996, modification of the dam increased its height to 357 feet and expanded the lake's water storage capacity by 20%. The lake had a multi-purpose of flood control, generation of electricity and harnessing the water for irrigation. The dam, lake and its water distribution system turned the Arizona desert into fertile agricultural land.

 

 

Tonto Creek is a 72.5-mile-long (116.7 km)^[1] stream located in the Mogollon Rim area of the state of Arizona on the north edge of the Tonto National Forest. The closest town, Payson, is 18 miles (29 km) away. Tonto Creek is a stream that flows year round, starting just below the Mogollon Rim, at the northern edge of Tonto National Forest. The creek continues its descent through the Hellsgate Wilderness area and eventually into a wide valley in the Sonoran Desert. It continues through the desert and into the north end of Theodore Roosevelt Lake.^[2] The facilities are maintained by Tonto National Forest division of the USDA Forest Service.
