Williams, Arizona, might be a small town, but when it comes to fishing, it is big. The area is an outdoor adventure wonderland and the gateway to the Grand Canyon.

This fishing guide to Williams, AZ, will help you find the best angling sites.
Williams, AZ, has a variety of fishing spots with many local favorites.
The lake near Williams offers some of the region's best rainbow and brown trout. Anglers can also target warm-water game fish, like largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill and crappie. The Cataract Lake County Park is an excellent place to cast off and spend the day.
Dogtown Lake is a unique spot for angling. The picturesque ponderosa pine forest at the lake offers the perfect backdrop to reel in trout. The Dogtown Reservoir in this region is stocked with warm-water fish, including black crappie, bluegill and largemouth bass.
The lake is approximately 50 acres and is ideal for electric-powered boats and kayaks.

Lee's Ferry in the Grand Canyon is a lesser-known destination and great for reeling in trout and catfish. Lee's Ferry is situated in Marble Canyon and the upper stretches of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It is perfect for a day's adventure.
The Grand Canyon is a super angling spot and popular among fly-fishers. The region has five native fish:
Grand Canyon also has extirpated species, including bonytail, roundtail chub and Colorado pikeminnow.
The humpback chub and razorback sucker are endangered, so anglers mainly target brown and rainbow trout, catfish, bass and carp, using catch-and-release methods.
