CENTRAL VALLEY â Dry conditions that have prevailed in the Sierra Nevada and the San Joaquin Valley since fall have sliced into the Kings Riverâs runoff outlooks for this springâs annual snowmelt period, April-through-July. A gloomy annual total can be expected when Water Year 2020-21 concludes in September.
Kings River Watermaster Steve Haugen reports the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) estimates the riverâs natural runoff during the peak April-through-July period will be only 400,000 acre-feet, just 33% of average. Even worse, if Kings River watershed precipitation falls short of average during these four months, the April-July total could be even lower.

The first rule of trophy fishing is that you must fish in waters that hold trophies. You can use the best methods and baits ever made, but unless you cast them in the right waters, you will fail to catch exceptional fish. Fortunately, if you re targeting giant spotted bass and live in the southwestern United States, you’re already in the right neighborhood, and the best waters are close by.

Meteorologists are calling for an atmospheric river to arrive by Wednesday. This actually looks like a very spectacular storm, says Fresno County Farm Bureau CEO Ryan Jacobsen. You don t want to count it before it has actually dropped but as of right now the projections, particularly for the snowpack up the Sierra Nevada, look very healthy.
Water is essential to the Valley s top industry and crop irrigation, so farmers like to see the storm clouds.
They ll offer a welcome change with most of the state under extreme or severe drought conditions.
