JUNE 28-29th
come all, and bring bait! I have a virgin fly rod that will hopefully land its first trout in the beautiful waters of West Clear Creek. We do an annual backpacking trip down Maxwell trail to the confluence, but this year Id like to shake things up and head down via Tramway trail into one of the most scenic little areas on the Rim. Plenty of trees for hammocking, and some flat spots and sites for the ones who havent yet converted :o

I believe this is the time of year when the wild grapes and raspberries are ripe. Bonus!

there may be rainstorms in the area, there are numerous cloud formations above the Rim, as seen from my house. Bring a tent of sorts.

Any tips on recommended fishing tackle for this creek? I will be bringing my ultra light spinning set up. I was thinking some small lures, but figured I better ask...

Also, I noticed when I searched West Clear Creek, AZ on Google every report talks about swimming through deep pools to get around...should I plan on making my pack water proof, or are we sticking to a trail?

Don't believe there will be any mandatory swims (at least last time there wasn't any) so I don't think you'll have to waterproof your pack
