Fall has always been the best for me on the Forebay and San Luis. Usually more days without too much wind. Make sure your boat is clean and dry. Their inspections are thorough. Hard to send water south if the plumbing gets clogged up with mussels.

Not sure how rough the water gets in the forebay, but I suggest if the wind is up much respect needs to be shown in the main San Luis lake, especially in a small craft.
