Boy that is beautiful. Thank you Russ for taking us on another journey. It is absolutely gorgeous there. I also thought I would say, I am way past help, and way past HOPE....So funny, but we enjoyed.... It is in the 90s there, and we are chilly here, but soon we will be warmed up....Take care to you all...for goodness sake be careful. Walk with Justice, walk with Love and mercy, and walk with a Good spirit Russ as you do all the time. I wish you all Peace Russ...Everyone watching.....Take care from Carolyn from Canada...

Since I wasn't sure where this was, I looked it up on Wikipedia. The primary purpose of the dam is flood control. Recreation is a secondary purpose. Where you say that the lake is "low", that is actually the "normal" level, the remainder being reserved for flood waters. Wikipedia states that the lake, in a flooding event, rose eleven feet over one night! Would have LOVED to have been there for that!

Just by watching these videos of Russ's, I figure it'd take a whole year to see all of Arizona. In fact, you'd have to stay in each state of the American South West through all four seasons to see everything properly.

We went to this lake alot when i was bass fishing. It is known for large mouth bass and crappie fishing. It's nice there when everyone there is there just to fish and dont have to put up with jet skies and skiers or drag boats. Plus right now in april ,it:s spawning time for bass. So great fishing. Thanks Russ

I visited in mid-80s, likely when the lake was at its minimum pool. Don't recall the RV aspect being developed, but that was many moons ago! That big alfalfa ranch "on the right" was the "edge of town" where I was treated to the biggest, tastiest most delicious steak dinner I've ever had. Courtesy of A Heck of a farming family! Great happy hour while mesquite burned down to coals AHead of dinner. JLG at the fire. Great memories along Centennial Wash and Buckeye-Salome Road.

No Russ they don't stock the lake I got out of the military back in 1971 and with in a few years their was 6 +lbs bass cat fish blue gills as big as your hand . I can remember catching over 100 bass a day there . Their was more California fishermen there than Arizona fisherman Its my favorite lake in Arizona

best way to learn how to launch a boat is go somewhere on the weekdays when nobody is around and practice it a few times. Last practice, you get to learn how to come back to the dock/rap and how all that works. But do it alone, so when you goof up, you learn instead of deal with irate others trying to do the same darn thing you are doing. Then you can master that skill and do it right and efficiently whne people (UGH!) show up.
