For decades, the Chinese, Saudis and other have been buying up our hay products and shipping them overseas, leaving less and less for us here trying to raise livestock. Now these foreign entities are buying up the farmlands and water rights too, it's insane we allow this. Then you have idiots in power here who turn the water off to farmers and allow fuel prices to soar while chasing their green utopian agenda. How many people at home need to starve or freeze to death before there's a change in attitudes? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanley Report post Posted March 30, 2023 1 hour ago, AZAV8ER said: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/wcc/home/ This is good info. When I see it though, I get less optimistic about a windfall of Colorado river water rushing into Lake Powell, Havasu & Mead. Though basically the entire Colorado River water shed is above normal, it seems that the most important area (Rockies western slope) is not completely 'off the charts' above normal. The expected flow from AZ's own Little Colorado River looks like it will help, though! Proof will be in the pudding when the snow really starts to melt up north in May/June. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dolores and Gunnison in SWS CO feeding the Colorado & the High Uinta mountains in UT will fill up the Duchesne in SE UT and Black Forks (S WY) rivers that feed the Green. Not the main show but some pretty heavy snow packs adding to the Green and Colorado. Just need several more winters of 100%-200% of normal snow pack, we will see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad they closed it because people are slobs leaving trash, alcohol bottles and driving off road, making a mess of the place. Would love to go see it flowing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crap, I hadn't realized they closed it. (Of course a quick Google search provided plenty of articles confirming.... ) The thought never really occurred to me to go visit it before, but just a couple of weeks ago my lady-friend was asking if I wanted to go check out 'Chocolate Falls'... Bummer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apache7mm Report post Posted March 31, 2023 Everything still looking good out this way, anticipate the crappie stocking to happen mid next month for San Carlos Lake. In other fishing news we got on Talkalai yesterday and good results all around despite the wind and turbid water. The crappie at Talkalai were the biggest I've ever seen there!

Bummer... Stanley, when your lady-friend is asking you if you want to check out "Chocolate Falls", you may not be discussing the same topic! May want to get some clarification before proceeding. 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
