Effective May 15:
"All Lake County waterways are now open without restrictions"

Looks like restaurants can open. Hotels, bars and gaming remain closed.

"Family Units Only - No Guests Allowed at This Time" ......
This is a step forward, but does not sound like you can fish with a friend

MichaelB

Lake County Health Dept has not issued updated guidelines since May 08 when the Lake was opened to "Locals" It is possible that area businesses (hotels / tackle shops) are aware in advance that the County is about to loosen the restrictions ..... but that has not occurred yet. I believe th...

Yes, out of Russo’s and $290 all in each day. Plus $50 for the NewJen membership for those who aren’t members. I asked on their Facebook post According to their lengthy announcement, the only way to register and pay for either day is thru their website ...... which currently lists nothing. Since th...

MichaelB

Are there New Jen Tournaments May 23 & May 24 out of Russos ?
Nothing updated on your website.

Fishing from "non-motorized" boats was approved last Saturday May 02

I'm just the messenger:
Informed sources state Clear Lake will be opening to Lake County residents only this Saturday May 09.
Bear in mind all the public ramps are barricaded ..... which may not be taken down immediately saturday morning.

MichaelB

Today I stopped by a local tackle shop that is open, dropped a $100 just because, I mean its not like i needed this stuff but felt its the right thing to do. I was told that the No Fishing rule from a kayak changed on Saturday, I had not heard that? See link: page 11 (K)(c) This order which was iss...

Hey BlueLine ..... nice job filling up this complete used boat forum with stupid requests for boats that were on sale 12 to 24 months ago.

MichaelB

I gave them the same suggestion almost 2 weeks ago open one ramp up North and 1 ramp down South to residence that already have 2020 permits and limited to 1 angler per vessel Lake County, or any other government entity is not going to issue any guideline that limits "one angler per vessel"...

MichaelB

Sorry to hijack the thread, but can anyone confirm if Russo's is open or not? I read they were closed the first week of April, but not sure if it was Covid or a death in the family related and may be open. Called and just got vmail. As of last Saturday, April 25 Russos was closed. It is my understa...

Since I have now cancelled and re-scheduled two lodging reservations trying to stay ahead of BBT reshuffling their schedule, I was informed by the marina host that Clear Lake would not be opened to out of County residents until the SIP Orders are lifted and Lodging is also re-opened in Lake County. ...

MichaelB

What is the difference between CDFW "encouraging all fishing contest permittees" to cancel tournaments and actually just banning tournaments ? I get it that there could be some blow-back if the State cancelled issued permits, but encouraging event cancellations is a far cry from cancelling...

Trailer Tongue Folded / Motor Down:
Ranger Z520L = 23'-9
Ranger Z519L = 23'-1

MichaelB

At 21' deep you are going to have to push the trailer over so it is diagonal with either the 19' boat or a Z520L

Orwood is a complete circus about 1:00 with "pleasure craft" ..... getting there at safe light there is plenty of parking

MichaelB

So what this is telling me, if the attached Lake County Addendum #4 expires on June 01, then ramps remain closed and "motorized boats" are prohibited until June 01 also.

You are probably correct ..... and yes, I could see Lake County residents getting earlier access.

After reading closely!... all I get from this “ is Gary Pace has significant real estate holdings “ & is allowing himself to stay in business!....LOL ! I have a reservation at a Clearlake marina. When the SIP order if lifted, the Lake will be reopened. They go hand in hand. Feel free to contact...

Lake County / Clear Lake closure ends May 4th.
Any insight if the closure will be extended ?

MichaelB

Fished with wife Saturday morning at Orwood. Arrived 6:30 and main lot was about 80% full. Only contact was handing thru cafe window launch fee. No line to launch. Pulled out at 11:00, no line to load either. There were at 11:30 when I left about 6 ski/wake boats getting prepped. These boats had 6 o...

Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, Executive Director, Restore the Delta responded: Minority Leader McCarthy and Westlands Water District’s “surrender Dorothy” advocacy directed at Governor Newsom during the COVID pandemic is unconscionable. With increased exports, water quality in the Delta not only deteri...

MichaelB

CDFW to potentially suspend sportfishing ...... and no restrictions from state on recreational boating?
So when we cant fish and every ski boat/wake boat has free access to the Delta, then we can really have something to complain about !!

MichaelB

According to the barrage of closed / not-closed posts on this forum, both Lazy M and Big Break are closed.

MichaelB

I just called Orwood, and as of 9:45 am ..... they are still open and will remain open until directed otherwise.
I would give them a call to confirm your plans.

MichaelB

There’s probably some people trying to keep this a secret but dare I ask what launches are even open out in the delta currently? I fished last Tuesday out of Italian slough and the lady said sheriffs came by and said she had to shut the launch down. Same with rivers end. Tiki was closed. Not so sur...

MichaelB

Keep posting pics like this and all ramps on the Delta will be closed soon. This is one of the only fisheries still open to fishing. This coming weekend will be 75+ with no rain ..... for the first time in a month. The Ski/Wake Boats loaded up with 6+ people each will close the Delta ..... not thes...

Tuttletown launch is still open, they just closed Calaveras not the State of Jefferson side :D Interesting: The North "side" of Melones is in Calaveras County. The South "side" in Tuolomne County. Calaveras County has suspended all recreational boating ...... what County is the ...

MichaelB

To your point, I don't think they can close the Delta ..... too many ways in and 100s of ramps. They certainly could suspend all recreational boating ..... that would have the desired result. Lazy M and Rivers End are both in Contra Costa County. As are Russos and Orwood. I would expect if they were...

MichaelB

Mercifully the showery weather likely limited the number of bassboats on the Delta last weekend ...... All we need is a dry weekend of 70+ and every ski/wake boat is going to be on the Delta as they have no where else to go. Imagine that will be the last straw for the recreational boating when the G...

Given no one has responded to the OP regarding "being pulled over" with your boat, one would have to assume the OP was an isolated incident. I just called the CHP Sacramento Valley Division and the CHP Golden Gate Division and asked them the same question. The response was there is no offi...

Would be interested to hear if anyone else had been pulled over with their boat ?
Can't say I am surprised.

... Call the Lake County Sheriff and department of public health, they told me traveling while towing a boat is a not an essential activity and will not be allowed.

Sounds to me like many people are going to be sent home to work remote or "shelter in place" at home.
If you are one of them, you are going to have an abundance of "family time" ....... Go Fishing !!!

Lake is very nice, as is the ramp and other facilities.
Very rigorous boat inspection ..... better be bone dry, not a drip from drain plug when you remove.
Is not inexpensive either .... 2 guys with boat will set you back $25+

Have not been there yet this season, can not offer a fishing report.

How does one splay their transom open like that ?
Did they run into something at speed with their lower unit ?
The short pic of the transom is at 13:40
