I was with Extex earlier this winter looking at the res and it was a trickle of water.

Ex lives in Delta so he would be the one in the know on it.

I've fished D.M.A.D. a couple times for channel cats. Never did any good. There are some big cats,huge white bass, walleye, perch and even an occasional northern in there. I've done good on big white bass, fishing the spillway that dumps into the old river bottoms sporting clays club property. I was a member for a while.
Always wanted to put my flatbottom boat on the res. and check it out. The flood of '83 wiped itout and sent monster (4#) white bass to the desert. Some folks I know around Delta were catching them along hiway 6&50 where the water flooded under the road.
With the last couple years of low water, I doubt there are many big fish in the reservoir now.
All in all, probably not worth fishing until we have a couple wet years.

For the last two winters it has been nothing but a a river channel. If they drain Yuba thats where all that water will go. And they can send the walleyes with it [] The only fish I have seen come out of it is channel cats and white bass. A lot of people catch wh bass out of the river and they still catch some big ones in spots. The boat launch that was there is not usable anymore. The concrete is busted and shifted around. If they do get it pretty full next fall when Yuba goes down the duck hunting will be better than the fishing.

I went over and took a look today and its got the most water it has had for 2 years. Its still 8 foot under the spillway but its a lake again [] Maybe they will not let Yuba fill with snowmelt at all this spring/summer and send it straight to DMAD.
