When I was 16 years old, I went crappie fishing at Horseshoe Lake on Christmas morning and filled a 54qt cooler slap full (limit was 50 at the time). That was the start of a passion for winter crappie fishing that’s lasted 36 years now! #crappiefishing #winterfishing | Mark Rose

Sunday I took a ride to Horseshoe lake & dam to see the big water release after all the rain....but it was only a trickle! 🫣😂 I should have checked the numbers before I left. Lesson learned. Not every adventure goes as planned, but it was still a great day. Horseshoe Lake is known as one of Arizona’s most remote lakes and I still had fun exploring. I also enjoyed learning about the history of the lake and dam. This was the current release rate as of 11/07/25 #dam #history #ArizonaHistory #Ariz
