Bartlett / Re: Update on Bartlett lake

Last post by OneBlade - October 14, 2025, 06:54 AM

Glad to see Bartlett lake rising again.  Old time member Desert Rat posted some info in the Bartlett Lake Life group showing it getting hammered by the storms.  I assume all dam work is done and we can sort of expect more stability and soon launch at Yellow Cliffs in a few weeks?

Bartlett / Update on Bartlett lake

Last post by Fishless - October 13, 2025, 10:27 AM

Update 10/9/2025: SRP will continue to release water from Horseshoe Dam at a rate of approximately 1,800 cfs through the spillway along the Verde River into Bartlett Lake ,that began on 10/7, for an additional week through 10/20.  Storm events impacting Arizona over the next week may result in additional inflow into Horseshoe Lake that could vary release rates and lake level changes.  Over the next week, Horseshoe Lake levels may begin rising  (rather than current decline) depending on actual inflows and Horseshoe release could vary between 1,000 to 3,000 cfs over this period. Bartlett Lake will continue to consistently rise between 1 to 3 feet per day during this period. Please plan accordingly for lake level changes. Updates will be made, as necessary.

I'm planning on doing a campfire on Friday and Saturday either my camp or wherever the festivities are at.  Weather looks great for it.  Hopefully you can all join.  If you can, please bring a bag of firewood.

Spring Crappie Fest / Re: 2026 Spring Crappie Fest S...

Last post by OneBlade - October 11, 2025, 12:44 PM

Reminder, our Spring Crappie Fest is March 28, 2026.  The AZCA wasn't able to reserve the group site, so everyone must reserve their own site on their own through the AZ State Parks Website (https://azstateparks.com/reserve/#alamo-lake/camping). Many AZCA members reserved in campsite loop D so try and book there if you want to hang out with the club in the evenings.  AZCA members with up to date paid membership will get 1 night reimbursed by the club, a perk of membership. It's highly recommended you book your site now as the sites can get all booked and none available if you wait too long.
