For those who signed up for these two outing dates, we
are limiting the number of members to ten (10) each date. The first twenty members on the list will
be notified in advance, and asked to commit to whether or not they will
attend. This process is necessary
since we have a waiting list.
The bass fishing should be good on the dates of the
outings. There are three lakes,
which should have most of the fishing action: Lake
Clementia,
Lake Chesbro, and Lake Calero. Every year large bass are caught at each
one of the lakes. The outings will begin
at Lake Clementia.
Equipment needed: a fast #6 – 9 wt. Rod, 8 – 10
ft. in length; a floating or intermediate line; a good float tube or
pontoon boat (this should get you around the lake, providing the wind is
down); bring wolly-buggers, leeches, minnows, clousers, and damsel and/or dragon fly imitations.
We will meet at Lake Clementia
at the boat launch between 9:00 – 9:15AM. This is a good lake to start
fishing. Your name will be left at
the gate; tell security that you are a guest of Bill Ossolinski
or Knute Anderson. To get to Lake Clementia, drive straight
down Murieta
Parkway to its end, where you will take a
right on Camino Del Lago. Go through a gate, which takes you to the
lake on the left. Each
lake is posted with rules
For those who don’t
know, Rancho Murieta is located along the Jackson Highway
(Hwy. 16). For information, contact
Bill Osselinski at (916) 354-8474, or Knute Anderson at (916) 354-1165.
How Rancho Murieta gets and handles its water
 Our water is taken from the Cosumnes River
at the Granlees Dam and pumped into Lake Calero,
Lake Chesbro and Lake Clementia during the
rainy season from Nov. 1 to May 31.
We use the stored water throughout the year. At capacity, these lakes could handle a
fully developed Rancho Murieta's water needs for
at least two years. State
regulations prohibit any discharge of wastewater into the Cosumnes River. The regulations require treated
wastewater be used for irrigation of golf courses, parks and common
areas.
Rancho Murieta's lakes are used for
water storage, not for flood control or to collect natural runoff. Storm water and irrigation runoff are
collected in the drainage system throughout the community. A major
component of Rancho Murieta's storm drainage
system is the number of natural swales, streams and tributaries. Runoff is filtered through detention
ponds prior to being returned to the Cosumnes River. -- From Community Services District
