Anybody have the number to the shack/office at the Granite Bay (Folsom) launch? Want to give a call to see conditions before making the drive.

Thanks much,
Randy

Not worth the drive the next week. We launched 3 boats (4 anglers) out of Brown's Ravine today for a 5 hour friendly tourney. Not a sniff, bite, not a wink. Surface visibility is less than 6 inches for most of the lake; one foot at best. Water temps 49-53*F (main body and half way up both forks). Lots of large floating debris as the north fork empties into the main body near the Granite Bay launch. South Fork wasn't as bad (debris-wise) close to the main body but didn't investigate much past NY creek. There were 7-10 boats total on Folsom today.

Thanks much for the info.. heard from a buddy a while ago that it was tough and no vis with horrible wood at Granite Bay.. just like you said. Was Browns good to launch at though? wood and dock wise? with lake dropping is there dock concerns? I'd be solo so need to be able to tie off.. don't mind a grind for bites, just want to be able to launch and get out.. haha..

Thanks again for the info.. much appreciated..

Absolutely no dock concerns at Brown's Ravine. I typically launch solo and tie off every time. Not much debris in the area today. Lake has fluctuated +/- 20 feet the last week (or more) but Brown's has been a reliable launch the last couple months.

Cool.. thanks much for the info.. much appreciated!
