Anyone know current lake conditions at Lake Sonoma? Muddy, Stain, worth fishing? Thinking about taking the tin can up there.

I was there on Saturday morning.  I tried to launch my kayak at Yorty Creek.  The lake level was so low that I couldn't even get to it without slogging through a bunch of mud.  The lake itself was about 20 - 40 feet of mud away from the concrete boat launch. 

I got part way there and gave up after almost getting stuck in the mud. 

Sorry, I can't tell you what the water is like.  I didn't make it that far.

Ricci, the water is stained but still green where water comes in. The main lake is still pretty clean.
This is what it was like last week, pretty certain it's still the same.
Thanks for the Yorty conditions report wannabe.
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.

The main ramp by the bridge should be okay. I've never seen it out of water.

:smt098  I love Lake Sonoma.  Been too long since I've been up there.

Making my game plan for 2016 since my 2015 was a 'not going fishing' year for me.

Hasnt turned over yet. Steelhead are still 40-60 FOW and very dispersed. best bet may be up the creek arms they might be staging there. I have had no luck at all this fall. Lake should turn over in the next couple of weeks. Mickfish nail a bunch of LMBs yesterday on the left corner of the dam. I might try tomorrow but I think Mendo is a better bet right now!
