Lake Camanche and the surrounding areas are again experiencing major storms. EBMUD, by managing releases took the lake down somewhat by releasing almost 5,000 C.F.S. in anticipation of the next round of heavy releases from Pardee Lake and normal storm runoff. There is a possibility that Camanche could spill if this storm is as heavy as predicted. As of this report Lake Camanche is 90% full and at 229.68' elevation or 5.82' from the spillway. Lake Pardee is at 100% and releasing almost 4,000 C.F.S. as of this report.

Lake clarity conditions due storms are still murky up the Narrows. Conditions at the Lancha Plana Bridge and beyond are muddy. The main lake is still relatively clear from ramps to the dam. Be extra cautious of floating debris.

Friday 2/17/17 Mt. Lassen released 3,000 lbs. of trout with 1,000 lbs. planted into the pond, 1,000 lbs. to the south shore boat ramp as well as the north shore boat ramp. This week's release will be 1,200lbs. Divided equally at the north ramp and south ramp before the weekend.
