Christmas Tree Lake

Located on the White Mountain Apache Reservation, Christmas Tree lake offers one of the best chances to catch a trophy Apache Trout.    The lake also has a large population of German Browns that are ready to eat a fly.  Since the fish are feeding in shallow/clear water, sight fishing is the rule, not the exception.  We typically fish from an inflatable driftboat or pontoon boats, although waking the shores to stalk the cruising fish, is also productive.  With only 20 anglers per day limit, advanced reservations are required.On our travels to and at the lake, wildlife is extremely abundant. We typically see trophy elk, deer, foxes, turkeys, osprey, blue herons, bald eagles, and the occasional Black Bear.
