Water low in Sacramento River?

So I have been hearing that the water in the Sacramento River is low and that quite a few people have damaged their boats. Has anyone been out this week and where are you riding on the river?

Other question, how has Folsom Lake been after work?

I have been tracking Folsom and the water is increasing 2 feet per week. So, they are not letting a lot of water out.

Tom, we've been hittin' a few miles North of Crawdads........been lucky so far, but hearing the same thing? (been very nervous though)

I've also hit a few miles South of Miller Park........

I heard they released some water, and raised it two feet??? Anyone ride the river during the big weekend?

Prolly go out Friday and see........

We were out on Monday. Launched at Discovery Park and ran to Alamar and back. I did notice it dropped a bit in the last couple weeks... but not too bad.

I dinged up my prop north of Verona. Then hit a sunken tree at idle so I got really lucky and did not do any major damage. I would not go north of Verona.

Private lakes run from 5' to more then 10'. Must private lakes have a nice clean bottom so the depth is not a problem

never go on the river or unfamilar water without a depth gauge
