For whatever reason the water level is dropping fairly fast at Perris. In the last few weeks, it's almost gone down 3 to 4 feet. The spawning bass and panfish nests are going to be high and dry soon. Why is this happening? Is the new back to the dam not doing it's job? I sent a message to the Lake Perris Marina, but they probably don't know either..
Wow. I thought the lake was supposed to finally be completely full this spring. That's not good news for fisher people.
The Colorado River Aqueduct has been down for work since 3/4. Started back up this week. I am sure it has been a drain on water resources for most of the month.
Water is slowly coming in and should be stable to s-l-o-w-l-y increasing over the next week. The fish will spawn successfully this spring and everything will be fine.Quote:

A lot of thirsty people out in the desert... hopefully the water level fluctuation won't effect the spawn too much.
you'd have to ask MWD or DWR. I have no idea why.Quote:
