Wow - how big is this place?

I was wondering the same thing. It is 12,500 acres and 100 miles of
shoreline. it is the 5th largest reservoir in CA. Here is a aerial
photo of the lake full.

Fish heaven from the looks of all the submerged islands and the like.
Deep though - wow, 400 + feet?

On the plus side, it is still raining in N. GA, and the forecast is for
rain for the next two days. It has been years since we have had this
much rain in GA.

WHOO HOO!!!

Deep. Average. Oroville is down about 200' and there is still 4-450' of
water. Most of these lakes are in the foothills of the Sierras. so they
get some deep valleys to dam. Melones is known for the great Kokanee
fishing in the spring and summer.
