Thanks to management at state and municipal levels, many species of freshwater game fish thrive in Arizona. The state's six species of trout, including brook, brown, and rainbow, as well as largemouth and smallmouth bass, are probably the most sought-after species. But you'll also find crappie, channel catfish, and flathead catfish, along with walleye and northern pike in Arizona waters. Stocking programs help keep fisheries productive, while cooler waters at higher elevations allow certain species of fish to thrive. Visit the Arizona Game and Fish Department website for a list that includes many more species.
