Future state of Feather River this fall?
The lowest water levels ever reported in Lake Oroville happened this week. The tunnels are empty, and no power is being made. Scary stuff.
My questions are:
With the current lake levels, is the low flow feather going to be flowing until we hopefully get late-fall or early-winter rains?
Will the water temps be too warm in the low flow?
Is there a backup water source that can be provided for the low flow?
Is it ethical to fish for the steelhead this fall, if the salmon make it up?
