Haigler Creek is one of the lower elevation Rim streams originating closer to the Naeglin Rim near Young, Ariz. It does experience higher water temperatures compared to other Rim streams. Trout stockings have ceased due to warm water temperatures at the stocking locations from the Haigler Creek Campground all the way down to Alderwood Campground. Some rainbow trout and potentially Gila trout are still holding into some of the deeper and larger stocking pools. Try throwing PowerBait of various colors, Panther Martin spinners, or streamers stripped through the deeper holes. Upstream around Fisherman’s Point (FP) will hold wild rainbow and brown trout that will readily take a fly. Dry flies such as elk hair caddis, ants, hoppers are great options as well as mini jig leeches worked under the waterfalls and deeper pockets. Access to the creek upstream of Fisherman’s Point requires a ½ mile, steep hike to get to the water and into wild trout. Water temperatures 64 F (FP), 70-72 F (downstream of CG).ck to edit this placeholder text.
