Arrived at the lake at 6:30 AM and a chilly 37 degrees (62 overnight in Phx). Lake is a little low but has risen 3 feet in about 3 weeks. Parked in a camping area on the south side of the lake and hiked about 2 miles upstream on the Gila River that was flowing bigger than I expected. (120 CFS) Dry winter so that was surprising especially considering the multiple diversion dams upstream. Lots of big birds and animal tracks. No cell signal which is a plus. A handful of fisherman in boats on the lake. Finished the hike and temps were in the upper 50s and sunny. Lots of poppies and brittlebush above the lake. Permit is easy to purchase online now at https://sancarlos.nagfa.net/new-online/index.php
