I knew it.........Fished the opener at Gritsmill briefly for an hour and the water was nice and clear and yesterday the water was colored again at sunrise. Both days with cero hookups. The only thing available were "zombi salmon"
This I don't understand I'm seeing a 4K inflow into Folsom and yet they're releasing twice as much!!!!! I would love to smash some heads for this type of thinking!!! Well below the flood crap if the kept the lake at 3k from now on I would be willing to bet that we would have plenty of room for storms! Thanks CA thanks!

They flood us so that we won't be flooded
I simply don't understand why they are insistent on holding the lake at consistent pool in January
Anyone know when that under-construction secondary release will be functional? I believe it's intended to allow them to keep more water in the lake, since they'll be able to flush it out faster.
If you look at the attached photos, they show the lake spiked in mid-December, when it approached an historically high level for the date. It also shows it was higher than any of the last 10 years for that date, but after it was flushed it dropped to 5th highest. Some other years (e.g, 2012-2013), the lake was allowed to stay much higher. Maybe there's some method to the madness.

we deliver the river
I'm with you John, would love to know when the new spillway is in functioning order. And why didn't they do a fish ladder during that project? They could always do Nimbus at a later date, a much smaller scale!
Mark so what I heard in recent days is that there is a ladder project that will start. Not sure on the date. Also a leader length law in order. I guess we have to wait and see. Hoping to see these soon being implemented.
