Plenty of stocking planned this year for San Carlos as we'll hold over to spring 2024 like we did 2017-18. We got to 32% that time (2017) and spring '18 was excellent for crappie. We're currently leveling off at just over 40%. Plan to get out and survey fairly soon here. DAN

For anyone available this coming weekend. DAN

Good job on getting the first, keep at it and before you know it you'll become a magnet. Them things are anywhere and everywhere so you don't always have to be in the "perfect spot" to get into action. DAN

To clarify, the Companion Pass allows the companion to glass as well as the other reasons, safety, etc. That's exactly why it was implemented. They cannot separate from the hunter while in the field and if they want/need they are allowed to wait at camp. Current regulation puts a limit at 2 per hunter but we changed it to up to 3 per hunter which will begin next August 1st. Companion permit holders are not allowed to possess any other permits (small game, Lion, predator, etc). Companion permits are available for all big game hunts in all units. Also for those who aren't aware the Department now offers SxS permits to Nonmembers for Unit D Coues Hunts. All permits are currently only available at the Department office in Peridot. Hours of operation are M-Sat 6am to 6pm, Sun 8am to 12pm. DAN

Can't go wrong with Brian, excellent work 👏 DAN

The season is open on San Carlos, come on out and get after some birds! Permits are available at the Department office along hwy 70 in Peridot AZ (mp272.5). Office hours are 6am to 6pm Monday - Saturday and 8am - 12pm on Sunday. DAN

Congratulations, what a bull!!! DAN

Went across from Seneca to Chihuahua to POP and through Park Creek on the Rez yesterday. Every creek is running (some nearly un-crossable) and every tank full. Those steady overnight rains are doing a number. DAN

Yes our catfish come from Texas. DAN

There was but it isn't accurate any longer. With the consistent drought these days we're having to restock a lot of tanks each year and that's only if they refill after going low or dry. Just about every pond has ccf with the ones in the higher country having the most bass opportunities. Tons of wildlife out right now and beautiful weather. DAN

Fire restrictions back to stage 1. Still plenty of good fishing happening all across the Rez, our latest catfish stocking was a nice spread of 6-10 lb channels (Gimme, Phillips Park, Baskin, Hostene, Turkey Roost, Juniper). DAN

Stage 2. DAN

Currently still in stage 1 fire restrictions (completely read the above document). The $5 habitat stamp is a yearly requirement so keep it all year for all your SC activities. Consecutive days of fishing/recreation allow you to camp overnight for those days. You are allowed to have a firearm for personal protection. Also in case others aren't aware, you can fish from either bank (SCAR or WMAT) with either permit (SCAR or WMAT). You must be camped though on the side which you have your permits for/from. DAN
