Clearlake Keys Devastated

Please watch the following you tube video and please share. It’s out of control and our local and state agencies will not offer any assistance. Was just informed that the West Nile Virus was found in the Keys. We are doomed.

A private company's bid to clean it up came in at five million dollars. I don't think its going to happen.

birdman920 · Post by **birdman920** » Sat Aug 20, 2022 5:07 pm

How do you clean up millions of tons of Primrose and brush ? Lake county needs to work on the launch ramps while the lake is low ! unfortunately this is Newscum’s California and even though the state has an 80 billion dollar budget surplus do you think lake county could apply for a grant to pay for the work ? it will never happen ! that money is going to the illegal aliens and reparations to descendants of slaves ! sorry lake county !

Why i refuse to take the family to the hole! Two homes on the water in Lucerne. Ill drive 4 hours to Trinity.. But you can go and experience homelessness, felons, Poverty stricken families, methadone clinics, poor mismanagement of funds, zero infrastructure for fishermen and recreational boaters, frustrated and overwhelmed civil service workers, zombie wondering the streets at all hours, and other counties sending parolees to Lake County… Should I keep going? Wanna chat about ecological problems and tournaments… Naah, lets not…

I have no idea what’s going on with Lake county ? the board of supervisors must be just like the rest of our state government ! they will just sit idly by while their community self destructs ! the whole community is dependent on the revenue the lake brings in ! and they won’t even lift a finger to maintain it ! the money is there ! they need to use it !

After retiring and moving to lake county 30 years ago I have seen a lot of changed and sadly not for the good. Thirty years ago the people that ran this county were very pro active and tried to nip problems in the bud. Excellent leadership and trying to solve problems before they came up. The leadership especially when it comes to the lake has gone down the toilet. The problem with the ramps should have been addressed three years ago but as yet no real plane to extend the ramps has been put forth. Lot of lip service though. The economy of Lake County depends on the lake and I just don't mean for bass boats. No consideration is taken about what the various businesses are going to lose in income when launching at the lake shuts down which is happening now. This is not a State of California problem as no one in lake County has asked for help from the state. They now say they are approaching the state for monies to fix the problems which should have been addressed three years ago. Small area, small people small minds. Don't get me wrong as there are a lot of good people in the Lake County Government but they are not in a position to correct the problems Lake County faces.

From CSU Chris above comments/mine below this - Why i refuse to take the family to the shithole! Two homes on the water in Lucerne. Ill drive 4 hours to Trinity.. But you can go and experience homelessness, felons, Poverty stricken families, methadone clinics, poor mismanagement of funds, zero infrastructure for fishermen and recreational boaters, frustrated and overwhelmed civil service workers, zombie wondering the streets at all hours, and other counties sending parolees to Lake County… Should I keep going?

Four years ago I took my wife and youngest son (22 at the time) to Clear Lake for a week vacation, I had a fishing guide lined up on Day 2 and they wanted to enjoy the lake, spend some time at our vacation rental laying out at the "beachfront" outside and enjoying the outdoors. Everything CSU Chris said was true,there were literally meth heads walking around like zombies, in the parking lots of the stores, the restaurants,etc. We saw a drug deal going down more than once. Our "beachfront rental" was a gross old modular home with one wall unit of A/C (temps were > 90 degrees outside). Needless to say, after Day 2 after my fishing trip we left and my wife told me to never ask that we go back to Clear Lake.

For all those talking crap about lake county being a “ hole”, please don’t come up there anymore. Stay where you are in your beautiful areas of California. Fish your local water and leave Clearlake for the people that can tolerate the shithole. There are already too many bass fishermen at Clearlake as it is.

marinerfandave · Post by **marinerfandave** » Mon Aug 22, 2022 8:47 am

Enjoy the shithole then, I'll catch my bass here at the Delta.

P.S. to 185vsfrog, looks like you are from Millbrae, hardly what I would call a Lake County local but if you enjoy going up to Clear Lake and all the top notch amenities the lake has to offer other than the fishing, have at it.

coyote268 · Post by **coyote268** » Mon Aug 22, 2022 9:22 am

Wait a minute, my post was about the inept governing of Lake County. Now some of you have brought up what a s-hole it is. Try San Francisci, Oakland, Fresno and Oroville if u think we are so bad. At the present time there is no place in California to get away from the undesirables. This is a state government welcoming and tolerating these individuals with open arms. Just like any other area in CA., there are the bad and good places here so choose where you want to come to and stay. If you don't like the area, simple, don't come but don't knock all of what Lake County has to offer. What's the old saying--People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!! Think about it!

Looks like you are a good investigator, Mariner Dave. I own a home at the Lake and have family there. I grew up and spent many summers there as a kid, learning to bass fish on Clearlake. Low water, zombies, etc will not keep me from fishing one of the top lakes in Ca. Enjoy the Delta. I’ll see you down there when I have a tournament, or want a change of scenery. And when I’m down there, I won’t complain about the stolen boats, trailers, cars getting broken into, weed spraying, seals, and other problems that face the Delta fishermen. Not to mention, the water getting diverted for SoCal, farmers, etc. And like I said, please don’t come to Clearlake. Too many fishermen up there already!

100% right, Fosters Freeze is one of the highlights up at Clear Lake.

ash · Post by **ash** » Mon Aug 22, 2022 1:08 pm

What i am seeing is that the Keys are running dry from the lack of water in the lake. The result from the low water conditions is that the primrose and riparian habitat has thrived in the low water conditions and that the mosquitoes are setup due to stagnation of the water. What can the county do to correct this? It looks like some people are using black poly to solarize the area and kill the weeds, what if every home owner did that in front of their parcel? If they cant get a harvesting boat through the keys what other options are available? I don't know of any homeowner association fees for maintaining the keys. It sounds like County Vector control is sampling for mosquitoes are they spraying the area.

By the way great drone footage, it would be cool to see the same flight path in the winter when the water rises.

Hahaha you’re an angry local already

you need to hurry up and retire

And what’s the deal with no parking for guest boats at your place? Geez lol

Sad what’s happened to the Keys, we were in there not long ago and it’s terrible

Kelly Ripa · Post by **Kelly Ripa** » Mon Aug 22, 2022 3:26 pm

We were owner operators of a resort there when I was in High School mid 70's. My younger sister was a deputy sheriff there for years 70-80's. You have to understand the **** hole you are talking about has been this way since back 100 years ago when the Big shot entertainers had great big mansions around the lake so they could golf and ski in the hay days before the depression. Our resort was built in the 1920's and the rooms were very small with kitchenette's and swamp coolers. We were sold out for 4 months straight with customers that had been coming to it before and after we bought and sold it. The rest of the year the few paying customers we had barely covered their propane use in the room. While billed as the bass Capital of the West there were no Bass boats ( except for Dee Thomas and Dave Gelbie)... Lake Co. has no infrastructure and the police are the third lowest paid out of all the counties in the State. They cannot pursue some crimes to the full extent of the law as they don't have the money. No money for the roads as they have been perpetually broke since inception. I go there a few times a year and the above statements ring true to me in that they have never wisely invested in the tourist area. They spent over a million dollars for a seaplane area in Lakeport for all those tourists to fly over the hill and have a glass of decent wine. Pie in the sky investment based on someone's palm getting greased I'd wager. Nothing that goes on concerning the human condition in Lake county concerns me as I'm there for the fish and some time with some friends who have lived there 40 + years. Mostly it's the problem causing pot growers that are running crazy through out the country side into a neighborhood next to your property.

Heck we first fished together all over that lake, and did darn well too... way back in the nutcase rally days there, huh?

Was super low four months ago, but figured out the bite anyways. Ran north, but could not get close to getting up there into the creek, bummer. Must be even lower now. Yes, rain is the answer. Praying for it as I type.

PS San Diego is in a bit of a hurt now too. What's not?

Ya, they definitely draw a crowd. Their lakes make Clear Lake look like a bathtub tho.

It'll be interesting if they close 5th st. this year. There's about 2ft at the ramp now and it stayed open all last year. We need water bad.

The Riviera launch ramp is also open, but he charges $20 ish per launch.

Ok Guys .Tell me how the State and County officials can make it rain?
Lake is the lowest its been in over 40 years.Just need a heavy rain year.
Only filled once in 5 years.
Yolo county draws lake water only when its a full year.
The only County ramp that could be extended is at the oaks.
Dont think 5th will make it through the year this year.You would have to dredge a half mile for any of the north ramps or Rebud to be extended and thats not happening .
Pray for rain.

I feel perfectly safe when I'm up there but I live in Stockton. I think most would agree that if and when we get some rain there will be a lot less complaining. Definitely feel for those folks living back in those canals though. Hope they get some relief this winter.

marinerfandave · Post by **marinerfandave** » Wed Aug 24, 2022 2:33 pm

In my earlier post, I never indicated that I don't feel safe there, I do. But I don't enjoy seeing the devastating effects that meth has had on some people up there and the fact it is clearly visible out in the community i.e. "the zombies" walking around, open air drug deals, pan handling, etc. And I get that the Bay Area has a lot of that in certain parts of San Francisco which is why we have chosen not to visit there anymore which is a shame because it was a great city at one time. Lake County relies heavily I would assume on bass fisherman/tournaments to generate tax revenue from hotel stays, eating at restaurants pre/post tournament, etc. I would be shocked if the State of CA does anything to help Lake County out and as the video indicates, the lake conditions will continue to worsen unless this drought turns for the better, I hope for the sake of those fishing Clear Lake that it does and also for those merchants in Lake County who depend on fisherman spending money there.

86.6% HS graduation rate...... who are you comparing to? What fine co. do you live in?

College admission isn't everything. Most of our youth get into the trades.....remember those?

All areas have issues. You seem to focus on the bad, whatever, I don't judge. Lake co. is extremely humbling and makes me not take my life for granted. The **** our youth has to witness on a day to day basis is unfortunate, but it's not an uphill battle.

Yeah it’s devastated because the homeowners that live in the keys don’t want to put out the money for a new harvester or pay for the dredging. They pay a whopping hundred dollars a year in HOAs. The “Keys” Was a man-made development not part of the natural lake bottom thus their association is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the canals and the levee system. No way I want my tax dollars going to rehabilitate something that people that have a vested interest in don’t want to pay for. They brought it on themselves unfortunately and the rest of us get to suffer. The only exception is Schindler Creek, the rest of the Keys is on Clear Lake Keys POA! Dan

Sadly your gambling with your children’s future living in Lake Co. Do you know Lake Co. HS graduation rates? Let alone college admission rates? Didn’t think so… Good luck ***-assassin

86.6% HS graduation rate...... who are you comparing to? What fine co. do you live in?

College admission isn't everything. Most of our youth get into the trades.....remember those?

All areas have issues. You seem to focus on the bad, whatever, I don't judge. Lake co. is extremely humbling and makes me not take my life for granted. The **** our youth has to witness on a day to day basis is unfortunate, but it's not an uphill battle.

You keep focusing on the negative, I'll do the opposite.

“People like you!” Such a positive message! LMK how trade schools work out for your kiddos? W/O a work ethic and a role model, there isn’t a trade in their future! Not negative, just a realist! Humbled by Lake Co.

That’s a good one!

Lake is the lowest its been in over 40 years.Just need a heavy rain year.
Only filled once in 5 years.
Yolo county draws lake water only when its a full year.
The only County ramp that could be extended is at the oaks.
Dont think 5th will make it through the year this year.You would have to dredge a half mile for any of the north ramps or Rebud to be extended and thats not happening .
Pray for rain.

The State of California doesn't have a shortage of rain, it has a shortage of storage. When they finally realize this and create more reservoirs like DVL we won't need to pray for rain.
