Folsom Friday: Walking on the Bottom of Folsom Lake Usually you’ll find residents and tourists on the outskirts of Folsom Lake, walking, running, relaxing on the beach, or taking in the view. During the summer, you’ll also find a lot of activity on the water with boats, jet-skis, and swimmers. When summer is over, it’s another story. The tourists have left and residents have gone back to school or work. Below is what the lake looks like during off season, before the rain hits in the winter. Most people don’t realize that this is also the perfect time to take a walk, or even a run, on the bottom of the lake. It can be an eerie site at times, almost as if you’re on another planet. Sometimes you will see a couple people wandering around, curious at the changes that have occurred. And sometimes you won’t see a soul in site.

    At New Melones, the water level dropped less than a foot last week and the water temperatures are beginning to cool, averaging 70 to 74-degrees. Boat launching off Glory Hole Point still requires 4-wheel drive. The lake has had very little boat traffic or fishing pressure. John Liechty, of Glory Hole Sports, states that during the next couple of months the trout bite should improve as the water cools and the fish move up from deeper water and closer to shorelines, in search of shad minnows which will move toward creek arms. If and when it rains, the fresh water will wash nutrients into the lake and help to oxygenate the water.

  • Mille Lacs Lake Case Study

    1610 Words  | 7 Pages

    For decades, there has been tension between Native American fishermen and non-native fishermen over the fishing rights on Mille Lacs Lake. This tension has increased, particularly because of the sustainability and quality of Mille Lacs Lake, and the Supreme Court’s ruling in Minnesota against Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians. The Court claimed that the Chippewa Indians retained their rights to hunt and fish on ceded lands as established by the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters. Usufruct rights are rights of enjoyment to another’s property allowing the holder to generate income from the property without obtaining ownership. This right to hunt and fish on ceded lands is further protected from state regulation by the 1837 Treaty of St. Peters.
