Water in Rogers Canyon

Hey gang, I don't see a ton of reports for the Rogers Canyon/Angel Basin/Frog Tanks area and I plan on backpacking that area this week potentially. Has anyone been in that area recently that could give an update on any of the springs or if there's water in Roger's Creek?

From the FarOut app for the AZT:

Clear, small pools in the creek to the right of the sign. 3/13/22.

Several good pools just behind the trailhead register. Green pools 0.2 miles north.

Appreciate the comment, but the areas I'm asking about aren't on the AZT

Those comments are for water at the Reavis Trailhead. The AZT is in Rogers Canyon for a few miles heading north from there.

I can make out a few small pools in Wally's photoset of Roger's Canyon:

In general there used to be a fairly reliable water source about a third of a mile downstream in Fish Creek from Frog Tanks (offtrail, though it was easy offtrail since you hike down the creekbed.) Not sure if that has changed since the fire though.

Went up Roger's to Reavis yesterday via Roger's Canyon and Frog Tanks. There's still water still flowing mostly the whole way down the canyon until exiting on Frog Tanks. Dry portions don't last too long, more wet than dry sections. Angel Basin has plenty flowing in the creek. It's a light flow everywhere, but the water is clear and algae isn't too bad
