This is one of his 'secret spots' @ 20,000cfs.

Mike was probably the only one on the water the past few days considering all the gates to the parks are closed. That "secret spot" seems to be producing some nice fish lately. Looks like i might have to give it a try next week.

It looks like the water is going down to 17,000 soon.

I drove over it a few time in the past couple of days and wow.............its big.

I went into Folsom yesterday and crossed the Rainbow Bridge. There were a couple of wave trains there right under the bridge. I saw a few people down stream in kayaks and a driftboat just below. Looks like it could be fun..........when was the last time we saw anything in Lake Natomas that wasn't completely flat and placid?

Hmmmm,..... Looks like Mike's secret spot was the parkin' lot at Discovery park :lol: . Lotsa trees, etc. to create current seems there right now... :lol: :P :P :P :P

Mike was in today and I think he wa actually kidding me when he sent that picture.

That water tonight going over 80 by Cal Expo was up into the bushes on the bank. I guess it is backed up from the flow coming down the Sacramento.

It is flowing 8,300cfs right now (Thursaday PM)

I think your right about him kidding you .

The American has been up and over the Island behind mikes left shoulder for over two weeks and over those wood stumps between the Island and the bank for over three weeks.
