Hall Creek - Little Colorado River Confluence to White Mountain Reservoir COA

Hall Creek downstream of White Mountain Reservoir will be managed primarily as a wild self-sustaining coldwater sportfishery. It is currently managed for a wild self-sustaining population of brown trout and some rainbow trout. Hall Creek will secondarily be managed for wild self-sustaining populations of speckled dace and bluehead suckers, which are both currently present in the waterway. The geographic location and associated stream connectivity make this a candidate stream for additional coldwater feature species to increase angling diversity, or improve the existing wild trout fishery. There is also potential to stock Apache trout as a recreational species only.
