SHOW LOW, Ariz. — Anglers are advised that the Silver Creek Fish Hatchery property near Show Low is temporarily closed to public access due to safety concerns related to localized flooding. The hatchery has experienced some flash flood events this week and the area is saturated, so further rainfall is anticipated to result in further flooding.

The property will remain closed at least through July 31. Hatchery personnel will re-evaluate public access based upon property conditions and next week’s predicted forecasts.
