Unless the guage is off, the flows are way above typical it seems to me. 358?! The median is ~ 100 for the previous 52 years. I mean, there can't be that much demand this early in the growing season can there be? Won't they need that water later on when we've had ANOTHER year of low precipitation?!
Not that I'm complaining for the fish - I like this level for fishing....

I'd say the gauge is on. Was up there last Monday and did pretty good, went up today and noticed the water was still murky and certain spots are almost inaccessible that were okay last week. Oh, and no fish between me and my buddy, ran into another guy up at the bridge and he had no luck either.
A good majority of this water is going to the farmers, most if not all of the canals in this area are full of water and I've been noticing farmers are beggining to irrigate now.
