Will all this cold water flowing into Roosevelt delay the crappie spawn?

I'm no pro but I live for crappie every spring.

My opinion is yes, absolutely but the turbid water will warm quickly (if we could get some steady warm weather) and there will be a lot of fish ready to go off.

Why is Pleasant not full yet?  With all the rain and snow melt you would of thought it would of hit the 1702 weeks ago.   Yet the water level has been essentially the same for weeks.  The MWD has to be dumping water.

Remember, Roosevelt can actually store up to 2.9 million acre feet in the flood control stage, but that water has to be released within 20 days I believe. They have plenty of space still.

I read So Cals largest reservoir is full for the first time in years. I hope this water abundance, aids farmers whom had their irrigation spigots turned off.

Especially hoping we can see some relief in hay prices and availability. 

But I won't get too hopeful, this Washington administration has proven its the enemy of consumers and farmers alike.
