The poor Colorado River is very low now. They have been working on a dam on the California side of the river by the Imperial Dam and had to draw the water down to work on it. This has made it pretty tough fishing and most of the boat ramps around are almost unuseable. As they work on the dam they keep finding more wrong with it so its taking much longer than expected. Its getting to be bass and sunfish spawning season which is when everyone loves to fish. The pressure is on to get the work done on the dam so they can raise the river back up.
The sandbars in the river are popular for partying on during the summer. Right now the water is in the 60's and the air temp is in the 70's -- not quite warm enough to play in the water. This holiday weekend lots of people came to play on the water but didn't get to enjoy it as much as usual. Its tough going for anything but the shallowest draw boats. We miss not having our boat down here but as it turns out we wouldn't have gotten to use it much at all.
