Just shows you how fast the lakes can fill back up in Calif. One of my main fishing lakes McClure and the good news is all of Calif. lakes are filling up. Of course down side is lots of flooding in the Valley.

Looks good. With all the population everywhere anymore the Drought is something to not hear about for a few years hopefully.

That's awesome Ranger. Hopefully the rest of the extremely low lakes will at least be mostly filled by all the precipitation you guys got. It's unfortunate that the lowlands get flooded, hopefully the residents remain safe.

They will fill this year because they are almost fill now and the snow hasn't even begun to melt. High rivers and flooding all summer long I think

Unfortunately Jeremy, a good water year does not end the drought. Groundwater everywhere is still dangerously low.Looks good. With all the population everywhere anymore the Drought is something to not hear about for a few years hopefully.

Afraid you are right, one good year doesn't end 4 years of drought

Looks great and I am happy for you. I understand the same is not happening at the Hoover Dam.

AF= one acre-feet is about 325k gallons, so they are letting out a lot of water from McClure today. Like most reservoirs in California, the last 25% or so of storage is regulated by the Corp of Engineers depending on the dam strength, need for electricity generation, flooding of marina facilities, and the needs for water downstream by fish, wildlife and people. You don't need more downstream today with the flooding going on, but there you have it. Lots of water and more coming early next week.
