Just wanted to find out if anyone has riden on the Sac river in the last couple of weeks? If so, was there a lot of debris, how was the temp, etc. It is starting to look like Folsom is not an option because it is $200 for a season pass, and $15 for a day pass.

Yes. It was fine. A little cold in my 3/2. A few sticks here and there, but rideable. Not many boats beyond fisherman. Fun stuff.

loomosity,
Dirty as a terd? Or is it cleaning up? Still looks nasty from the highway.

The river is always going to be cold. Dont see any really hot days in the near future either.

I have a neoprene top that i use but that doesnt keep the bottom half warm...

Main concern is all the floating debris. Water still appears a little high from the looks of I-5 and has the appearance of Chocolate milk.

I'd wait on the river just a little bit longer. A lot of the wood is not visible.

Folsom has crews that remove the major debris to the shoreline. That's what I remember from when I worked out there...

I'm used to riding on the Delta, so it didn't seem too dirty to me. We were on a friend's boat, so he mostly had to worry about submerged wood. I guess you could hit it riding, but we mostly stuck to the middle. All in all, a good day.
