About the host
Hosted by Owners Charlie and Wendy Palmer
Greetings! My name is Charlie Palmer and I am the owner and operator of AZFishGuide. I am a Licensed Fly-Fishing Guide in the State of Arizona and have been Fishing for over 30 years. Fly Fishing is my passion and I enjoy teaching others. I have my own Fly Fishing Guide Service. Inquire for availability. My goal is to educate others in the sport, make Fly Fishing fun, and introduce clients to some of the amazing streams and lakes that Arizona has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Location! It's my dream and passion to be outdoors fishing, hunting, hiking, relaxing with family and getting out of the desert heat:) It is at 5,300 ft elevation in the cool pines with mountain mogollon rim nearby, forestry all around and the East Verde River across the street with the sound of the falls while sitting out on the deck. Stars are so bright at night. Elk graze in the meadow next to the property. Its only a 10 mile scenic drive thru 3 bridge river accesses and parking areas for the East Verde River NE of Payson where restaurants, shopping, movies & Hospital are. Nature close to convenience.
What makes this property unique
3 Bedroom/2 Bath, 2 Fireplaces, 2 story cabin Across the Street from the East Verde River nestled in the cool Pines in Whispering Pines. Fly fish for trout & smallmouth bass. Cabin Sleeps Eight (1 queen, 2 full, 3 twin) not including full crib. Linen & towels furnished. WIFI, Blu-Ray, NetFlix, and Netbook Computer. Fully Equiped Kitchen & Laundary room w/ washer & dryer, Cabin Decor (Trout, Elk & Bear Rm). Living room upstairs w/leather sectional, 1 recliner. Custom Kitchen Table & Fireplace Manels made of Juniper. Gas grill & Fire ring. For the fishing enthusiast: 2 fly tying tables, a fishing rod holder inside & wader hanger outside. Dog friendly (1-2 Dog only!) For hunters: Excellent Elk & Turkey hunting w/ Tonto National Forestry access less than 1/4 mile from cabin.
We do get snow, but it is dependent on weather patterns and not guaranteed. This season in AZ overall has been very dry. We do get more snow when there is precipitation and it sticks longer than Payson proper since it is 300 ft higher, close to the rim and in the river valley. A better comparison is Pine, Strawberry, and Tonto Creek for weather and temps.
Fishing licenses can be purchased at the camping, hunting, outdoor sports counter of Walmart in Payson.
In addition to the public river access parking areas like waterwheel, first, second and third crossing, there is a river access at the wet bridge just down the street is always open and there are fish. You can walk up and down the river up to the high water marks on both sides of the river. Even if people own property on the river, its a US supreme court federal law that we all have access.
