Old Salmon Falls Bridge at Folsom Lake?

Post by bryanw80 »

I always here about the Old Salmon Falls Bridge under Folsom Lake but do not know exactly where it is, I believe it is somewhere up the southfork? Can someone give direction to locate it? Does it show up on the fish finder? Thanks for the help

It is about 15 minutes depending on your boat and how fast you're driving. As of last Friday, it was about 14-15 ft. under and should pop out of the water late next week at the rate they're dropping the lake.

Personally, I would not waste my time on it though as last Friday it had 9 (nine) boats on it when I ran to the rivers end for the FPT on-the-water deal and I am sure it had just as many if not more on tournament day last Saturday. It is really getting pressured right now and it is driving those fish away to some of the surrounding structure in the area.
