I am planning our first big weekend out at oroville for Memorial day and wanted to know if anyone has been out there recently. How is the debris, water temp, water level? Any help would be great. Thanks and hope to see you out there.

The debris is really, really bad and the water that is there is only 41 degrees.

Yeah, What Michelle said. My wife and I were out on the housebaot last weekend and had to put a blade on the front to get through all of the crap in the water. And talk about windy and rough...

If I interpret that correctly, that means 72 degree water temp, not a twig in the water, and butter like conditions. Thanks for the help.

Can't confirm the water temps, but keep the rest under your hat. I did hear that the memoiral day weekend forecast was for gale force winds, and sub-freezing temperatures.

There is a twig here and there but nothing like it normally is this time of year. Not 72 but pretty close. 69 last week. I think Kelly and I watch the same channel for our weather!! Another forecast I saw said every wally and there mother will be out that weekend--be careful!
