Hopefully it continues but this latest increase is enough to change the bite for sure.
-
lake has come up 2.4' today with huge amounts of water coming down Big Sandy and Santa Maria rivers :dance: Burro creek gauge is down but betting it is running heavy into Big Sandy below the gauge for that river that has not reached the lake yet
-
Always good to get some water in our lakes. Hope Bartlett also comes up some as well.
-
Horseshoe and both ends of Roosevelt are roaring rapids right now. Massive amounts of water hitting both watersheds.
-
11' and still filling at the same steady rate. Our late summer bite will be back this year!
;D

Matt horseshoe is getting big water from the Verde I expect SRP to start releasing more than 500cfs soon into Bartlett which will make it muddy and cold for a while at least up lake.
-
so far up 13' with still quite a bit of water coming down Burro, Santa Maria and Big Sandy water is higher than it was this time last year :dance:
Now we have to hope the CORP does not do a big release this spring to water the trees down on the Bill Williams. :angry4:
-
Still a little bit of water coming into the lake but heck it gained right at 15' so that is wonderful. The dock at the main ramp below the store came loose and is floating in the middle of the lake g and f crew is going up today to retrieve it and hopefully get it set up at the cement ramp (if the gangway is not broken) :dontknow:
-
Alamo has come up another 2' in the last couple days :o going to be a muddy cold mess for a while, heck crappie should be spawning by now over there :crybaby2:
-
up 4' since mid week still lots of water in the rivers
-
3 inches from reaching full conservation pool now and when I flew over the watershed Friday there is still quite a bit of snow melting into it.
-
Hey do the Craps spawn along the dam? Im headed to Havasu next week and plan to make a side trip to Alamo like next Friday or Saturday. Not bringing the boat. Ill be hucking jigs from shore.
thx for any info.
-
I watched some Utube and it seems tree filled warm coves might be the ticket. Dam looks pretty imposing but I would walk it if fish were there! :D
-
For a while why they were working on the bulkhead and other issues at Alamo dam they had the area buoyed off no entry don't know if that is still the case. Have never caught crappie spawning on the dam but in the area close to the dam same with bass but if you can access it give it a try.
Alamo is up to 1133 elevation when the CORP starts the releases they will take it back down to 1125
-
Alamo basically is at 1135 level with water still coming in and rain coming Wednesday, CORP has not announced yet when they will start releasing water
-
Haha. Bad timing as usual! Oh well maybe I'll catch a bass! :banghead:
-
The dam is still blocked off for no boat entry. Possibly hiking in is allowed but what a hike that would be with a muddy lake and very little chance of catching must of anything.
Good luck if you go.
-
Water temp at 62 and climbing fast. Use a light wire jig head with your favorite soft plastic, cast it out and bounce it on back in. If you get hung up, the light wire gives you a fight chance to get it back. They will be pre Staging for the spawn. Go get em.

Could be an interesting day at Alamo today. Lake has come up more than a foot since last night and there is 54,000+cfs headed to the lake from the three tributaries that feed it. When that water arrives it will be a mess of trees and logs and thinking you will be able to see the lake come up if you are standing near it :dontknow:
