Mogollon Rim Waters Trout Stocking

Stockings will mark earliest Canyon, Haigler and Tonto creeks have received fish.

PAYSON, Ariz. - As warmer springtime weather approaches, the Arizona Game And Fish Department (AZGFD) will begin its annual trout stockings a bit earlier in some waters near Payson on the Mogollon Rim.

Canyon, Haigler, and Tonto creeks began receiving catchable-size rainbow trout in March. This will mark the first time these waters have been stocked this early in the traditional spring and summer stocking season. All other area streams will be stocked according to the standard schedule that begins in April.
