LS Yorty Creek

someone was asking about Yorty Creek at LS, here`s a pick I boosted. supposedly taken 2/18/21

Holy cow! That's lower than I've seen it.

Confirmed. You can at least drive past the upper gate now.

damn.. does it look like you can launch and paddle out to the main arm of the lake there?

According to CDEC it’s low. It was slightly lower at the end of 2014 (I remember the launch being a pain then). It hit slightly lower 3 times in the late 80’s and early 90’s.  I don’t think we’re getting much more rain this year so I would expect it to go lower. So currently it’s the 5th lowest it’s ever been on record.

Took me about 20 minutes to drag my boat through the mud but you can make it out - recommend bringing some waders to get through the soft parts 

thanks for the intel guys. I had never launched there til last year at this time. I don't freshwater fish much. its a pretty cool spot. I took my dog out and poked around the cherry creek arm, drank a few beers and explored. Very scenic,saw some big hog tracks in the mud that made me go hmmm, I like this place. I thought it was a good spot for day tripping in the spring time.

They are biting on the warm springs side.
