If you are a serious fisherman, you might want to try Grand Canyon fishing. Here are some tips:
Bright Angel Creek
Bright Angel Creek offers a unique way to enjoy the Grand Canyon's most beautiful area. Fly fishing is one of the best ways to do this. Translocation activities are allowed without restrictions. There are also no rules about how to fish. It is important that anglers are familiar with the characteristics of native species in order to avoid accidentally catching them. Anglers should release any incidentally caught native species. Bright Angel Creek has information boards that provide details about fishing.
Tapeats Creek
Although the Grand Canyon is considered one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the world, many people don't realize that the best fishing opportunities exist far away from the crowds. For a quiet and peaceful fishing trip, consider visiting Tapeats Creek, Grand Canyon. This small creek is fed by the largest spring in the Grand Canyon, Tapeats Spring, and can be dangerous to cross during spring runoff. From here you can travel westward to reach the Colorado River.
Shinumo Creek
There is no better place in the world to catch a trophy rainbow trout than in the remote reaches of Shinumo Creek, Grand Canyon. The massive barrier waterfall protects the creek's waters from the main Colorado River. Shinumo Creek was a world-famous trout water a few years back. Unfortunately, the trout population has suffered from a recent humpback and chub construction. The creek's upper section still hosts a healthy population of trout. Take the North Bass Trail to the lower reaches and cross a river.
Gibbon River
The Grand Canyon's upper Gibbon River offers excellent fishing for both steelhead or trout. This river section was once located along the roadside but was recently rerouted. This is a very attractive area with pockets of water and it's one of the first to dry in early June. You can fish the canyon for three to 4 weeks. It is a short window, but the beauty of the canyon is worth the effort.
Little Colorado
Anglers who are looking for trout in Colorado River and Grand Canyon can backpack to the confluence. These rivers need a NPS Backcountry Permit. Peak fishing season has a high demand for these permits. A guide is recommended. The park website has information about the lesser known fisheries. For the most current information, anglers can visit the US Geological Survey website. Although the Grand Canyon River and Colorado are some of the most sought-after fishing spots, there are many other fishing options.
