Don’t let anyone tell you there isn’t good fishing and hunting in the Morenci and Fayette area.

Just take a step into Don’s Sporting Goods on Main Street in Morenci and you can witness first-hand the bounty to be had from the area’s streams and fields—the 31-pound muskellunge Ken Maxfield pulled from Lake Hudson a few years ago, or the 30-inch pike caught from Bean Creek in 2005, for example.
