Re: It doesn't help...

I was wondering about those low levels. I used to fish Folsom a few times per month until I moved out by Marysville a year and half ago. I thought maybe my memory was gone cause I could not remember it being so low!

I agree Scott. I don't back all the way down but have seen many do it. In a tourney it is more understandable as EVERYONE should know what they are doing!

You can make reservations at the many campsites around lake oroville through reserveamerica.

I just have a 2001 Bayliner Fish/ski boat set up for mainly fishing. I left some rubber worms in the drink holders and sure enough it melted a big groove in the plastic. You would think they would make these boats a little more durable these days!
