Yes, The Water levels seem to have stabilized in much of the USA. Of course we have stabilized a little higher than normal here and could pump some your way with a pump and tube long enough. We have enough here to turn that desert green now.

Glad to see the desert get some much needed rain. Probably makes easier to maneuver around all the boat traffic as well.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

The funny thing is we finally got our first little bit of rain today. It has not rained since the end of February here. We had a lot of winter rain and snow in the high country. We also got a lot of snow today up in Flagstaff.DESERTDWELLER.COM “GET YOUR BASS IN THE BOAT”

I remember going to Canyon there in Arizona…. maybe it was 97? A friend brought me out to the lake. Huge ramps. I mean HUGE. Maybe 6+ lanes? Longgggggg way down to the lake. We went on a Saturday. When we went to load the boat that afternoon, he went and got the truck and got in line with his trailer. I think I waited for him to back the trailer in for…. well I forget…… but if i had a 12 pack, the cooler would have been empty. Lucky I did not have any cold ones though…. watched Game n Fish write DUIs as fast as they could. I think 50% of Phx was there that day. I miss the desert. The White Mts more than anything.

Basscatsmeow, that would probably have been Lake Pleasant or Roosevelt. The ramps there are much larger than that of any other lake. Lake Pleasant now has a 10 lane ramp that could handle a crab boat or two, I think in 97 it was about 6 or 8 lane. Roosevelt has many ramps most being of the 3 to 5 lane variety. On a Summer Saturday at Pleasant it is likely to see over 1000 boats launching from the 10 laner since there are only two ramps on the lake.DESERTDWELLER.COM “GET YOUR BASS IN THE BOAT”

AZ, Your right, just looked at a map. It was Teddy Roosevelt lake. It is funny how most think AZ is all desert huh? I lived there 8 years, was lucky I got drawn for elk, 6 out of 8 years!I hope to go to the OI next year for the first time. Hope to see you there. Do they sell any scorpion plastics out there??

Meow, Roosevelt lake is by far the best lake out here now. If you dont catch 40 fish in a full day you should think about taking up golf. There are 8 to 10 pounders being caught pretty regularly now. With the lakes full again this Spring we are going to have another awesome spawn this year. By next year we will be seeing consistant 100 fish days. Here is a pic of the bridge….. the concrete pillars are under water again now. DESERTDWELLER.COM “GET YOUR BASS IN THE BOAT”
