    Rivers are Running!! Fill them lakes up

    Right on. SNODAS and SWANN. https://nsidc.org/data/g02158/versions/1 https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2017AGUFM.C43B..01B/abstract https://climate.arizona.edu/snowview/ Unless I misunderstood your point- By numbers you are correct, but only a fraction of water stored in snow makes it to the reservoir. With many others involved, temperature specifically makes a huge variable to the speed of snowmelt and permeability. One big warm rain on a watershed with that much snow to melt is where winter runoff becomes torrential. A cooler watershed with little or no spring rain melts slow and long, and allows water operations much more time and flexibility to handle it. It it tough to predict the future but the Verde has been destined to spill for 6-8 weeks. Roosevelt is just recently modeled to fill, if barely.

    Releases will be coming from the Verde system long before the Salt, where spill will be minimal in comparison, if any. The Verde watershed has 600-700k acre-feet of water stored in current snow water equivalent models before this current weather system and there is 64,426 AF of storage available, per SRP's Daily Water Report. The Salt has 525-575k AF of SWE stored with 300,443 AF available.

    Cool man! I bet that video doesn't do it near justice.

    HB2236

    I'm not supporting it but I wouldn't be upset if it passed. If I came to terms with anyone hunting for free, it would be the people who have hunted here for many generations before, who wouldn't have socially and physically demolished the law and ecology of the land instead of some of the people poaching and consuming AZ wildlife today, one way or another. There are likely less federally registered tribal members that hunt than hunting Californians that will migrate to Arizona in '23 alone.

    https://river-runner.samlearner.com/ Another thread reminded me of a neat app I'd seen recently, especially during runoff season.

    No dig but Standman killed it in '18 if I remember.. granted that guy kills lots of things.

    Indeed it was. Thanks for the info and pictures. There isn't much left to melt in the Upper Gila - San Carlos Reservoir but it is surely primed and ready for more runoff. The Mogollons in NM are still packed nicely.

    Right, but the lake didn't hold a pool for 2 consecutive spawning seasons before that either.

    Stocking isn't needed. The lake just needs to keep water for 18 months and it is full of fish. Unfortunately, it was just empty this past summer. Hopes to spring 2024.

    Can you find the muley?

    Also accurate but the word "lake" may be a bit deceiving regarding size and purpose. This one is for the MWs. The new power-generating pumped storage project is unnamed at the moment. It is very much in the feasibilty stages of planning.

    Arken Scopes?

    I bought an SH4 earlier this year and was impressed, adding a few more among mine and a few fellow shooters' rifles. Tracking has been flawless and features are excellent, especially for the price point. We've taken them out to 690 and back without a hiccup so far. I ordered a 4-16x in November before a 6-24x and it is well behind its expected delivery date but I received the EPL 6-24x a few weeks ago and zeroed it this morning. Right off the bat it is a huge improvement to the SH4. 1) Weight is 23oz instead of 38oz. 2) Japanese glass much clearer. 3) Capped windage is a bonus (for me). All the other features that I liked on the SH4 remain and so did the compatibility with their throw lever and scopes caps. Zeroed my rifle from 25-100-200 yards in 6 shots. I'll post more when I stretch it out in the next month or two but I am a fan.

    Outdoorsman Carbon Tripod

    They could be trying to compete with RRS as a premier shooting tripod with a hunter friendly center column for glassing. If it is rock solid, durable, and light, they have a market.
