River Update
I just returned from three days of guiding on the Moke. With flows down to 500cfs on Monday, the river seems to be returning to normal & fishing is improving. For you floaters, check to make sure Stillman Magee Park id open. It has been closed including yesterday.
1-12-26 Camanche Reservoir
Release Update
Flows are currently at 2,100cfs with a high probability that flows will increase this week. These conditions could sustain for the next two weeks.





On Wednesday, January 7 at 8:00AM increase release from 1,700cfs to 1,800cfs.
On Wednesday, January 7 at 12:00PM increase release from 1,900cfs to 2,000cfs.
On Wednesday, January 7 at 2:00PM increase release from 2,000cfs to 2,100cfs.
For safety reasons, EBMUD has closed the launch ramp at the Mokelume River Day Use Area (MRDUA).
There is litteraly no reason to try to fish the river at this time.
Happy New Year
I just returned from my annual trek to the MRDUA for the Opening Day on the Moke. I arrived at 6:30ish and the fine folks from the The Delta Fly Fishers Club had their awnings up and the coffee was a welcome treat in the pouring rain. I hung out and visited with lots of old and new friends until around 9:00AM. By that time five small rafts launched and a few individuals tried to wade at 1,300cfs and found that not working at all. I don't know how long this flow will be sustained so if you're thinking about floating the Moke, you should be at an Expert Level of rowing and reading water. If you are thinking about wading the Moke, that it is not safe at this time.
By the way, if you are thinking about fishing, January is sold out and I have a few dates left open in February. March has lots of dates open.
