This is the lake we would go on camping vacations at back in the 60's and 70's. Over the last half dozen years (or more) the water level has been falling and falling. On the right, the dam face, I remember driving over that with our parents and the water being right up to the spillway (the big cylinder), and the dark line in the rocks.

Now, after years of drought, and a steadily increasing number of irrigation systems upstream the reservoir is barely holding. Instead of staying in the old campground, campers now drive a quarter of a mile down to the beach and camp there. Old boat ramps look strangely out of place a quarter mile or more from any water.

In the foreground of the photo you can see two dark blotches in the water. Those are schools of minnows. I thought it might be algae until it slowly changed shape, split in half and moved in different directions. There's some large fish patrolling the shadows, presumably looking for strays.
