they have been releasing water for irrigation down stream to the farmers but the lake has been getting a steady runoff from the gila river for over a month now and is gaining water, wonder if there are any crappie left in the lake :dontknow:

Looks like the lake is now about 14' deep and 14,000 acres. Releases are around 110 cfs. If the releases stay the same and we get some more rain, there may be hope.

What a damn shame. I'm just bummed because that was always the money shot. I can't imagine how these local businesses are being impacted. I talk to Richard at Liars corner from time to time about it, and he said it has hurt badly.
