Has anyone ever seen the spring on the road to Big/Little Bear dry? I've NEVER seen it dry. Was there in July and not a drop. Makes me think that they have a way to shut it off.

Is it still on a pipe with a spigot? It’s been years since I’ve been there, used to get drinking water there as a kid.

I know where that part of the river is. Like I said earlier drop down by west or east fork campgrounds for Apache trout. That’s all they stock their thur the summer.

Rez fishing closed to everyone (tribal members included) until the end of the year. Due to a spike in covid cases after they opened it up to tribal members.

I know as a kid in the 60's we'd  camp and fish Big and Little Diamond Creeks.

heck, l don't  even know where it's located anymore.

You'd never even know itd hold fish. Tons of fun till it rained. It rained a lot. Lol

Was there some nice trout in the 60s? Bet it was bad butt. Was there any bars to pick up chicks in Pinetop then?

I imagine so! You grew up there so you know better than me. Grandpa built his house in pinetop in the early 70’s, I’ve been going up since the mid 80’s. Huge fish as a kid!! No so much now.

Even huge fish in the 80's and 90's ....................................BOB!
