Snuck out early yesterday morning. Left a note for the wife. Headed to my local reservoir for a few hours fishing. Got there and found that the ramps are closed because of high water. Next nearest reservoir is also closed because of flooding. Crazy after 4 or 5 years of severe drought we are now having problems because of too much water. Just found out one ramp opened up this afternoon. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning. Hopefully a few days without rain will have allowed the water to clear up some.
Incidentally, I don't know if the Lake Oroville Dam problem is making the news outside of California. They evacuated a town and other places in the inundation area because of concerns with the dam breaking. In 2014 Lake Oroville was almost nonexistent due to the drought. Now it is overflowing. It is a real eye opener to see images of the lake in 2014 compared to today.
Nice that the drought in Northern California is officially over. Feel bad for the folks who are dealing with mud slides, flooding, evacuations, etc. Hopefully this will get sorted out soon.
