thinking about a trip
https://waterdata.usgs.gov/az/nwis/uv/?site_no=09469000&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060
this is the only website I know that mentions the lake level and releases and water coming in?
-
I believe San Carlos last I heard was still only open to tribal members. I couldn't find site to verify this.
This is site I use for water levels: https://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/az/nwis/uv?cb_all_=on&cb_00054=on&cb_00065=on&cb_00065=on&format=gif_default&site_no=09469000&period=730&begin_date=&end_date=

I'm going to call Bashas in San Carlos.they sell permits.
-
You might call tribal wildlife office and confirm that the lake is open to the public (and conditions)
-
I have to work for a bit out at the San Carlos Health Center this afternoon, so if I remember, I'll stop at that little game and fish office on the side of the road to get the scoop. Last I heard, it was residents only, but that may have changed.
-
I stopped at the game and fish in San Carlos and she said there is a tribal meeting on Monday, February 22 to determine whether to open up the land to public use. She said to call on Tuesday and they will know if they can sell permits and allow people on the lake. She also said the water level was very low and no fishing reports...
-
Hopefully they open to the public
-
Thanks for the recon apenland01
-
Called Bashas they haven't sold permits in 4-5 years
She said to call the ranger station for up dates
If they open the lake I'm willing to go and get some info.
Thanks guys for your input!!

The was a Circle K on the way into the Reservation on the left side of the road that used to sell them.

I stopped into game and fish at San Carlos and they are selling permits. Water level is apparently low, although I don't particularly have any reference. I stopped and took a few pictures on Friday afternoon.
The Fast Go in Globe sells minnows and says they always have them in stock.

Great pictures apenland01, thanks for sharing. I wonder if they are doing work on the boat ramp or what the options are currently for docking there. When water level gets too low that main ramp isn't usable and you have to take a sketchy road to the left.
-
Looks like that ramp silted in bad :dontknow: it looks like the ramp Matt you can see the curb on both sides but man that lake is low and they are already releasing water for irrigation down stream almost looks like one should you a car topper boat and get down to the waters edge anyway you can (with out getting stuck)
-
Yes, that is a cement boat ramp that I found when I went down a dirt road to the right of the circle roundabout. It lead to a long cement boat ramp with a curb on both sides. The ramp ended and those excavators were down there clearing debris or something. At first I thought they might be adding cement to the bottom of the ramp to make it longer, but after getting closer, I'm not sure what they are doing. There was indeed a sketchy looking road to the left that looked like it led down to the beach area well below the ramp, but I didn't take that road.
Also, the name of the store in Globe with minnows is "Good2Go" across from the Best Western.
-
Lake is really low. That's the Soda ramp they are working on. I'm guessing maybe 30 to 35 FOW up near the dam
-
Wet winter last year but they used the heck out of water with our long dry and hot summer was their any report of a die off again due to low water :dontknow:
-
Those are great pics. Thanks for sharing. Did you see any boats on the water?
-
I didn't see any boats on the water, although in that picture of the beach, the truck had a boat trailer parked at the waters edge. I didn't see the boat though.
