Has anyone heard about a future drop in the flows on the AR. I know there are some of you out there that seem to know before anything happens.

Getting antsy to wade those striper and shad spots!

This may be the source most folks are using: http://cdec.water.ca.gov/queryRes.html (select Lake Natoma (NAT))

Doesn't looks like any flow changes scheduled yet.

I would think that right before memorial weekend they will drop the flows for public safety reasons... they did that last year under very similar conditions.

I think a good barometer would be the inflow/outflow of Folsom. If you go to the above link, on the right side it says "upstream impoundment". Click on Folsom Lake and it gives the inflow and outflow. Right now inflow is higher. Makes me think it might be awhile before flows drop on a regular basis... :? Of course this is all purely speculation on my part. I guess the drop yesterday was a faulty gauge reading :twisted:
