Hey 'Zona guys, our family moved from Phoenix to Huntsville, AL a couple years ago and I miss 'Zona. Fishing in the southeast is great, but how is Roosevelt? How's crappie fishing going out there? Water levels up or down?
Somebody tell me what's going on out there.
Thanks,
Fishing in "Zona is a bit slow these last few weeks with the past weather. Thought the Crappie bite at Roosevelt was looking up as we picked up 12 a few weeks ago. Then a major front came thru with cold & lot of rain here in the valley along with snow in the mountains. They had been dropping Roosevelt's water level, think it went down to 45% or so full but this storm produced some pretty good inflows bringing it up a bit. But as you probably know, that also brought a lot of dirty runoff & debris into the lake so it turned to chocolate milk. What little bite we had quickly turned off leaving us to hoping for the lake to stabilize.
So it's a slow go on fishing given the water conditions at Alamo, Bartlett & Roosevelt. San Carlos either did or came close to a fish kill due to low water levels & the Tribe has had it closed for a few months now. Here's to hoping for calm weather & lakes to stabilize......
Below is a pic from my last trip to Roosevelt a week ago showing the lake conditions.

Oh man that is some nasty looking water. Here's hoping fishing improves for you. Thanks for the update. I do miss 'zona and Roosevelt.
