Is this rain helping?
I'm just wondering if the three storms you guys just had has raised lake levels up there, and eased the drought conditions in the north?

Re: Is this rain helping?
No question about it, if you can be at the very back of incoming fresh (like the very week or day it flows in the heaviest from torrential rain) you will put some of the heaviest limits in your boat, that you have every seen.
This is true on Shasta as well as Oroville, I know, because I have been fortunate enough to have experienced this pattern, with blades and swim baits, and rip baits, on these lakes. Good luck, "fish on"...Jim M.

Go look at the AC Pro Teams results at Clear lake, and ABA Oroville this past Saturday, and you tell me;) Its the best thing that could have happened. It will possibly be " blown out" for a few days afterwards, but right before, during and about a week afterwards is amazing!!!

In California when it rains it pours (Morton Salt) and the reason we constructed dams to store water. The average rain fall is 14" annually and I don't believe we have ever had a year when it rained 14"; it's either 4" or 24" so we take what we get and be thankful!
The old saying bass move up as the water raises and fall back when it drops is true! Newly flooded areas always produce good bass fishing, more prey sources and the bass are active.
Let's hope we get some decent rain in SoCal, we can really use it! Our NorCal neighbors can't send us any water even if they are drowning, must save those Delta smelts!

Ahhh Tom, that was not a very intelligent comment about the delta smelt or Northern Californians. When people up here were complaining about the rain I would just remind them So Cal needs the water.... 

Re: Is this rain helping?
Nope. All of this NorCal public water has been privatized so that it can be given to SoCal resident Stewart Resnick, thanks to Diane Feinstein and hubby Richard Blum.Oldschool wrote:Let's hope we get some decent rain in SoCal, we can really use it!
