AKA: Lake mead getting fuller
I read the article and they make it sound like this is a "new idea", flooding to restore the beaches.... They forgot to mention that this has been done this several times in the past. :facepalm: I spoke to a guy (can't remember for the life of me who/when/where) that said he saw one of the floodings and there were car sized boulders being swept down stream, and an errie sound of them smashing into things.
Thanks! And happy Thanksgiving to the Lake Mead crowd!
mz, the lake was really nice when she was full 10 years ago, not that it isn't nice now. A lot bigger and more things to explore, less reefs, just different. That's one of the reasons I go to Mohave more now than Mead. Well, that, and Mohave has more big stripers than Mead.
Mojave River.... LOL Most of the time I launch out out of Willow, probably been out of Cottonwood 20 times, shore launched out of Placer Cove a couple of times. Though.............. I wouldn't go shore launching your rig
Make sure to go in the summer (Labor Day>Memorial Day) so you can run up river above Willow Beach into Black Canyon, very cool up there. Cottonwood to Willow is a pretty good run, 30 miles or so. We usually hit up Cottonwood when we are camping, for the essentials like ice cream and such.
He says they are too silty to run his equipment in. I guess sand floats in 300' of water?
