Rancho Tonto Catch-A-Trout is nestled below the Mogollon Rim. The original homestead of Sam Haught, aka Green Valley Sam to those that remember MGM's Leo the Lion, which was rescued from hell's gate wilderness by Sam Haught. Over the past 85 years this homestead has provided many great memories for families and friends, this lush property that borders Tonto Creek, is now open to the public for far greater memories.
Lots of fish, and super easy to catch.
Wow! Love this place it's a hidden secret but not anymore! This place we found by accident they has a sign posted close to the entrance of their location it was great we had a horrible fishing day but stumbled upon this place and caught 6 trout. We paid for them and they gutted them for us we took our yummy buddies home some other guest bbq their fish on the premises due to them being equipped with grills and picnic tables it was such a peaceful fun and exciting place.
This location is beautiful, and just a few minutes from the Tonto Hatchery. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. The kids caught 3 fish in about 15 minutes, and they cleaned them for us, in addition to helping us remove some tricky fish hooks.
Gorgeous area, and the kids had a blast. We will definitely be returning soon.
A little over priced. Not sure how they measure the fish. even though it's a little overpriced it's worth to see my daughter's smile catching their first fish. we caught three fishes and paid $45 bright side you don't need a lisence to fish.
My sister and I just stopped in for a short visit to look around. We saw the sign on our way to the fish hatchery. The grounds are very green and well kept - beautiful! Looked inside a little store which had decor, like signs big and small. Next door is where they clean your fish for you and probably where you get your supplies and pay afterwards. We saw a family or two sitting out on the porch of one of the cabins right near their little lake/pond. We asked if they rent it out. The man didn't seem especially friendly to me, but it might have just been me. He showed us their brochure which we took along with us. It seemed quite expensive to us per night, but it is VERY beautiful there.
Stopped on way home from visiting the hatchery-had a blast with my daughter! Caught 3 fish (they even clean them for you-the BEST part!) and picked blackberries. Would definitely go again:)
