On the stock tanks, right now Bobcat Tank has been doing good for bass and catfish, you can hit up Point Of Pines lake while you're in the area for some trout as well. DAN

Glad to hear most people doing great out there, keep them reports and pix coming!!! DAN

Black River Crossing and Wooden Crossing have great reports for Smallies, black river crossing guys were landing some big small mouth, fishing report from 2 days ago. Up higher there are still no fish but recreation is excellent! come out camping this weekend and avoid crowds elsewhere, Point of Pines lake was recently stocked so trout fishing for the kids is excellent and stock ponds in the area are doing great for Big Laregemouth and Channel Catfish. Also current fire restrictions are "only in fire rings in established campgrounds" and the San Carlos Black & Salt River special use permit is still currently "Day Use Only", you can camp but it must be out of the river. DAN

The mass on that one is crazy! good job. DAN

Some good looking horns right there, good job. DAN

Thats awesome, great finds, can't wait to see more DAN

Here's the memo.... Black River open for day use memo.pdf DAN

Thanks for that update, basically same reports down on the rez, not much aquatic life in the area and no bites at all, lots of sand/silt around too, i'm sure some fish are around but no where near the numbers as before, for now i'd say best bet would be smallies further south like Wooden Crossing on the rez but thats still to be seen. DAN

Sorry for not checking back with this update for awhile, i initially did but there were 0 comments so i figured everyone just took the info in and ran off to Black River LOL jk. Well first off the dept. website is incorrect (like it usually is), and its more of a bulletin board that is not run on a daily basis, hopefully changes will come in the future (wishful thinking), trying to have the memo scanned and emailed to me as i post this. Secondly, the Black and Salt River on the San Carlos (all areas) have been re-opened for DAY USE ONLY, any camping will have to be done up top somewhere. As for fishing reports, we have not gone out yet to conduct any at this time, but word of mouth from other anglers say "no fish caught, no crayfish in the area" (10 of Diamonds area), have not heard any reports for other areas down stream but i'm sure someone has been out there and hopefully they can post something or i'll post new info when i get it, but i should have a report by the end of next week for everyone (business mtg MON, mtn lion study stuff TUES-WED, bald eagle banding THURS, juvenile detention kiddies presentation FRI) i'll make time somewhere in there tho and in other news, havn't been out yet for antlers so hopefully soon TJ and i'll triple check my post before i put it up so that Bill will read all the way through LOL, jk, seen that earlier and going to learn from it DAN

Thats awesome! super dad DAN

Thats one nice set to go with the rest of the antlers! Great job. DAN

Great job and VERY COOL for sure! way to go buddy. DAN

Here's some photos of a great wide buck taken on the San Carlos this past Jan hunt, this is the buck from the "wide buck" post in the aerial photos, the pictures from the aerial flight are from 2008 when i think he may have been his widest, he definately grew his best set of horns in 2009 when he was a massive 4x4, this year he was roughly on his 3rd year of decline but still a very impressive animal that any hunter would be happy to even see, congrats to the hunter and everyone involved.
