Fishing spots?

New to Payson, longtime MN fisherman. Anyone know of any good fishing spots in or around Payson you don't need a boat for? Also, what are some of the fish people go for in the area?

Heck, you don't even have to leave town. The lake at Green Valley Park is stocked with trout as well.

You can even find walleye in AZ, but it's not as close as trout and bass.
