Wouldnt go that far but in all honesty probably would be a more comfortable road trip rig

 

Anyone been camping Easter weekend? wondering if it will be packed. I'm thinking Christopher Creek or somewhere around those areas. Open to suggestions as well.

 

Happy birfday man, which documentary is that?

 

Thanks

"Snow to Sand" about the first winter traverse of the PCT. Included on Amazon Prime. OK Film the narrator is a bit bland. I enjoyed "The High Sierra Trail" more but that one is not free on prime.

Happy Friday, here's some mod approved enjoyment for you

 

Going up to Roosevelt lake for the weekend, and I've never been on the Apache trail. How slow going is it ?

 

Good thing the king of Saudi Arabia isn’t a mod. He would definitely NOT approve!

 

It gets crowded at fish creek- single lane bridge - lots of tourists
Go slow through there and spot your decent prior to the decline.
Bring the camera- great Az scenery.

Once past fish creek - should be less traffic.

 

Awesome, sounds like a no brainer!

 

You fishing at Rosy?
Crappie should be biting!!

 

I will be, my wifey works at SRP so has the ability to rent those houses that are near the dam. So I'll be taking the kayak out and seeing what I can get!

 

Nice . Great 4x4 road back behind the mobile home park.
Great country back there to explore.
Good luck fishing!

Are Crappie any good for eating ?

 

Yes for sure. Take your time fileting them .

Oh yes. Crappie and trout are probably the 2 best AZ fish for eating IMO. Mild and flaky meat that’s perfect for beer batter.

 

Awesome, I love eating trout so if I will definitely be giving one of these guys a try

 

ROOSEVELT LAKE (73% full, 2,128 feet) — Water temperature has been in the mid-60s. Senft said many largemouth bass have been in 12-15 feet of water and hitting crankbaits, spinnerbaits, brush hogs and whacky-rigged Senkos. A high pressure system coming through has shut down the bite, so expect fishing to pick back up later this weekend, or next week, when the weather becomes stable. Senft said the water is getting more clear on the Tonto and Salt arms and is clearest at midlake. Anglers can drift along banks, pitching plastic worms. “The bite isn’t fantastic yet,” he said. “You can use a variety of things to catch those fish but you have to cast on their head.” The crappie situation is similar to that of Bartlett: they are spawning and in shallow water but limited water clarity is not allowing for site fishing.

 

where do you get this info? sounds very official lol
