FISHING RIM COUNTRY LAKES

Discovering the Rim Lakes


Fishing in the lakes of the Mogollon Rim in Arizona is an awe-inspiring experience that seamlessly blends nature's beauty with the thrill of angling. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of the Tonto National Forest, these serene lakes offer a haven for fishing enthusiasts seeking tranquility and a bountiful catch. The Mogollon Rim's pristine waters are home to a diverse array of fish species, including rainbow trout, brown trout, largemouth bass, and catfish, making it an ideal destination for anglers of all skill levels. As the sun rises over the horizon, casting its warm glow on the shimmering waters, anglers can be found dotting the shoreline or peacefully gliding on small boats, eagerly awaiting the excitement of a tug on their lines. With the surrounding pine forests adding to the idyllic setting, fishing in the Mogollon Rim lakes is an unforgettable experience that rejuvenates the soul and leaves one with lasting memories of nature's charm and the thrill of the catch.

AREA INFO & HISTORY

Be careful Monsoons are coming

MONSOON HOPES
A Sonnet by James M. Hagen

Ah, monsoon rain you come at last;
Reminds me of the distant past
Before the drought that scorched our land
When beetle kill was out of hand
‘Twas rain and noon and rain at night;
The thunder roared with all its might.
The trees and plants and bushes thrived
As daily monsoon rains arrived.

We only hope you’re here to stay
To bring us moisture day by day
Through July, August, into fall;
And pour down-we won’t mind at all.
A bit of wind and hail’s ok-
Just don’t blow all our clouds away.

Be careful out there these storms can come on fast and peaceful canyons and streams can turn to dangerous water ways.

The First Miners of Rim Country

The first miners to leave their mark in Tonto were the Spaniards. Their primary reason for exploring north from Mexico in the 1500's was to search for the legendary Seven Cities of Gold. During the next several hundred years Spanish explorers searched for precious metals throughout much of what is now Arizona, and in some areas gold was located. Evidence of Spanish gold mining in Tonto can still be found in the form of stone arrastrars which were used to grind the gold bearing rock so the gold could be extracted. This gold was then loaded on pack animals and taken back to Mexico for shipment to Spain.

The Christopher Kohl's Firebelles are inviting you to assist in sponsoring a special September event benefiting the Christopher Kohl's Fire Department. Our dedicated firefighters need to purchase a minimum of 4 Lunar Thermal Imaging Units plus a Laptop to fully implement this technology at a cost of $11,000. Lunar gives a visual image showing the location of a body, a fallen firefighter, and can identify and locate the fire and its origin as well as exit points. Now that this advanced technology is available, it is vital that funds are raised for the purchase of this technology to best protect our firefighters and community. Sponsors will help offset the cost and. increase the profit from our planned fall event. Learn more and watch a demo about the equipment at https://us.msasafetv.com/inarkets/fire-service.

A Precious Gift

I look at the sky, cobalt blue

And can't help but think, dear, of you.
Two doggies are here by my side;

Their eyes and their ears open wide.
I'm leaning against a giant old tree;
The world that's before us is free.

This sky, trees, and air are all mine.
God loans it to us for a time.


This Rim country, source of our pride
It’s here I prefer to abide.
He tells us it’s ours to respect:
A charge that we cannot neglect.
And yes you are His gift to me
To cherish for eternity.
