Taken from our fishing spot (1/10)

This image was taken from our normal fishing spot two days ago. The big rock that is out in the water is jutting out of the water by about four feet. When the first picture was taken, the water level was about six or eight feet above that rock. Where I’m standing to take this picture was well below the surface.

As often happens when there is overcompensation for flood waters, the water level is quickly getting well below normal levels. This is because dams in both directions were opened to allow extra water flow. Normally, a lot of water is held back, knowing that this time of year will be dry and hot. However, the concerns over the flood waters were so great that they released much more water than normal, even after the snowpack had melted and there was no longer a flood risk.
