Camp Catch-a-trout

A few weeks back we were watching a show called "Arizona Highways". It shows different places in Arizona that are neat to visit that might be off the beaten path and not known about. So Adam found this place called Camp Catch-a-trout up near Payson. It's a beautiful grassy area surrounded by pine trees and in the middle is a pond type thing stuffed with fish. The place is great. They provide you with poles, bait, buckets and nets. It's nearly impossible not to catch a fish so it's perfect for little kids just learning to fish. They get results and they love it! The place even cleans the fish and puts it on ice for you. The prices are resonable and totally worth it for the memories made. Our kids had such a great time running around and they each got a turn to go fishing (even little Hailey Rose). When we actually caught a fish Michael was thrilled, Hailey was intrigued and Emma was totally disgusted. haha. Typical girly girl that one. :-)
