Anybody ever fly-fished the Lower Salt River below the Saguaro lake dam? I have been thinking about a quick trip out there while waiting for ice break in the White Mountains. I know they stock it, but not sure how effective of a trip it would be. Thanks.

Does the amount of snowfall and rain have anything to do with the flows? I have heard that part of the reason they limit the flows is to keep Saguaro Lake levels higher. So, as long as the Lake stays at full capacity or close to it, then flows should remain high? Or am I wrong there?

My brother and I fished the Lower Salt again yesterday. The water has warmed up a little. It seemed to me to be cleaner yesterday than when I went a few weeks ago. The fishing was still slow. We fly fished it for about 6 hours and each of us only got a few hits. That is a tough river to figure out. Every time I am there, I see a lot of other people fishing it though. So I imagine that a lot of those people are taking the fish they catch. Not a lot of meat on those 12 inch trout, but whatever floats their boat. If people would just leave those fish in there, that river has the potential to be a decent trout fishery. Flows should be able to remain pretty high all year long which can allow for more holdover trout there. Too bad people take those little guys for two to three bites of fish. I am going to figure out how to fly fish that river if it is the last thing I do!

I dropped the price a bit.

I am selling my 2006 Nissan Frontier. It is a 4x4 SE. It has a Ractive dual exhaust system, 6 speed manual transmission, Tow package and 40k miles. I love this truck and hate to sell. I am asking $21,000. Bonus is that it already has a CouesWhitetail.com sticker! Call Josh at 602-316-0542 or pm me.

Up higher the black I heard is fishing pretty well. Are you planning on trout or bass fishing?

Well, I had fun fishing it. Flows were pretty high though. My brother caught one 10-12 inch trout on a Super Duper. I had a few hits on flies, but was unable to bring any in. We only fished for a few hours. The water was crystal clear and cold, but holy crap what a dirty river! I saw probably 20 different shoes, 100 glass bottles, various articles of clothing and my nephew caught a jock strap. If game and fish really wants to turn this into a great trout fishery, they need to put an outing together this summer to clean that river. I know it is where all the tubers, etc. go but it was nasty. Here is a pic of my brother going to unsnag my nephew's "green catfish". My nephew eagerly waiting to be able to get his rod back so he can get another snag.

Interested in a trade for Swaros?

Do you still have the doubler? If so, what kind of .22 are you looking for?

The Bushnell bow range finder and the adjustable pin bow sight are still available. I will aslo be posting another trail camera. It's a Cuddeback NoFlash. I am going to post some Nikon Monarch 8x42's Realtree as well.

I am selling a few items for a family member: 1. HHA Sports Single Adjustable pin bow sight with level and light. Will sell for $75 obo. 2. Busnell Yardage Pro Bow. Attaches to bow riser for yardage viewing while in full draw. Will sell for $75. I am also going to be posting another trail camera, a Cuddeback NoLight and some Nikon Monarch 8x42 Realtree binoculars.

This is a great thread. It looks like it has been going for some time. I have my own development services company. I do entitlement work for real estate developers and have experience with construction management. As you can imagine, work is slow lately, so if any of you need any help with the above, let me know.

Cade, beautiful bucks. Thanks for sharing. Jay called me about The Claw. Definately gonna get one of those. Were you down there with him? I grew up with his family. Josh

That was some tall grass! Good thing he bled so well. Congrats to all and thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the site! That trail camera pic of the buck in velvet is pretty neat. Some interesting height on that right side.

The whisker biscuit and bushnell bow range finder are sold pending $$$.

Penn's Woods trail camera is sold pending funds. The Swarovski camera adaptor is also sold pending funds.

All, I am looking for a good priced and good quality deer/elk rifle for my brother-in-law. Preferences are: 270 WSM, 300 WSM, 7 MM WSM or comparable. Thanks.

the moultrie trail camera is sold.

It is the angled one.

What an amazing animal. Congratulations to Cory. Nice shot too.

Wow! What a stud of a buck. Wish I could get my wife to go even just to stay at a ranch house. I am sure I could go on a lot more trips if she would just go with me.

Wow! Was that done without Camo? There is not a much better way to getted hooked on archery coues hunting than watching it through the binos. That's great!

I too would be curious to know this. I have the SLC 10x42 Swaros. I love them but really want to increase the the distances I can use them for without having to go to a spotting scope. Does anyone use doublers that can shed some light in this for me?

That takes a lot of self control to pass something like that up. You must have know there was something bigger in there. Glad you were able to find him again. Quite the character.
