PRDATR Report post Posted March 17, 2020 Horseshoe is at 96% which is something I haven't seen in a long time and Roosevelt is at 89%. I would expect SRP to let some water out of Granite Reef in a couple of weeks if the next storm dumps more rain into the surrounding areas. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to run the full length in the near future in one trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This year we are doing the headwaters to Camp Verde in late April. my parents and grandparents fished the verde canyon back in the 1940's when grandfather was a santa fe supervisor on the clarkdale spur. they would use a rr motorcar and take it off the tracks at max siding and bear siding. fished for bullheads and boneytail with cane poles in the photos. i was always going to ride the verde canyon rr to see that part of the river but never got to. they fished big bluegill at del rio springs during the same time period. lee 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We plan to do the whole river, but we are doing it in sections 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy to think that Horseshoe was just drained down to 7% I think it was just less than a year ago. Pretty cool to have all this moisture coming through! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
