FYI lake is rising quickly and is currently closer to 9 Rumsey than 8. I was just informed mandatory 5mph within 1000 feet from shore lake wide is now in effect.

Also informed lake is expected to rise beyond 9 Rumsey by Wed PM and a lake wide closer may result.

Driving around the lake on highway 20 yesterday and the ramps were blocked at the Oaks and Lucerne...

It's projected to be at 9.7 on the Lakeport gauge by 3 PM Thursday, That's almost a foot over flood stage. So yeah, a lot of water in that lake right now.

I've spent the last two months obsessing over these river guidance plots trying to time the rivers appropriately for Steelhead fishing. I never thought that these graphs would spill over into my bass fishing ! This has been one wet February. Hopefully the folks in and around Clear Lake make it through this with minimal impact and we can get on with a nice high water spring bite!

Man two years ago all over again. I hope its not as bad as it was then. This time last year i was gearing up for the start of my season. I hope i can make it out there in late march.

I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain........

Have another shot!

Just heard from water resources that most pubic ramps are closed due to high water levels. The best place to launch currently is Konocti Vista Casino. Please remember that its 5mph 1/4 mile from the shoreline also watch for floating logs and debris.

As of today, Feb. 27th, Lakebed Management has stated lastest decree from Board of Supes: When the lake hits 10ft, the lake will be shut down to all motorized boat traffic.

The lake is currently 9.72 and rising slowly
