California Aqueduct Safety Video

This is a safety video recently released by the California department of water resources about safety along the California Aqueduct. This video is very important. I know people who have fallen in and its very dangerous around the Aqueduct.

[@mikegsr94]

According to the official California Aqueduct specifications the deepest part of the Duct is 32.8 feet and avg depth of 30 ft.

Fish near a ladder and just downstream from a rope and buoy line.Best baits for Catfish are frozen anchovies and chicken livers.Have fun and be safety minded.

[@nickrocha881]

Thanks for the video very helpful.

[@chuemoua6834]

I fish the aqueduct as long as I can remember. I also remember going to San Luis reservoir back when I was like 7 years old , there was rattlesnake everywhere . We used to run on the side of the canal not knowing how dangerous it was .

[@jesse75]

Were you part of the problem leaving your garbage all over ? I have never been to a place seeing so many pig fisherman and women. And most fishing are Mexicans.

[@JH-yk5se]

I've fished the aquaduct my whole life. Wind gap was always fun with some beers. Best spot is to park upstream from a ladder. I watched a family with 2 kids around 12yrs old jumping off of a bridge into the duct then swimming to the ladder 😖. Made us so sick to our stomachs to watch them we left. I didn't want to be giving a drowning interview to the news.

what if you fell in front of a gate

[@SAVAGE308SNIPER]

I seen a guy with scuba gear and video camera swim under on 3/11/18.

[@chuemoua6834]

Btw it’s about 50 feet by the pump of the canal .

@white93taurusgl Man..This looks incredible fun to take a dip in

[@rcjimenez81]

why are there water level signs that say 325 326 etc what does that mean. Becuase my friends say that they saw when they were building the aquaduct and they say that the machines looked very small when they were building the canal i told my friend how deep u said it was and he is being hard headed about it he says that it cant be 30 to 24 feet deep he says it has to be deeper than that

[@white93taurusgl]

From what I have heard. Its deepest is 30 feet but the average is about 24 feet.

[@mainegibbs3776]

white93taurusgl 32 ft

[@rcjimenez81]

People visit to fish there.....

[@wolverinex4243]

If life vests are so damn hot and constricting.

[@tightasfool]

Yea jus swim 1000 feet to a safety ladder...

[@solsist__3291]

tightasfool Honestly with a current thats fairly easy, especially if you have a life jacket. Although you didn’t state it, Ill answer what your rebuttal would of been. If you cannot swim then don’t go fishing in or near the aqueduct. You don’t go by fires expecting not to sweat.

[@CountlessPWNZ]

6 years later and your concern got BODIED...

[@foobars3816]

Yeah and don't miss

[@A1Rage]

Yeah, barring you don't drown first....my dad jumped in the aquaduct or fell in when he was younger...he told me that he had to swim to the ladder

[@gfernandez9285]

I can't believe when I see this stuff done in California...in Pennsylvania if ur caught anywhere near drinking water resivoir u get arrested. Even tho they r some of the nicest swimming holes lol

[@codyy6412]

There should be plenty of debris laying around to throw in

Can you boat on it?

[@ephesians3987]

Red Acura lol I wish

[@chrisprimo7970]

It's funny kids who grew up in the desert grew up swimming in Africa seem to have a sense they know when it's safe and when it's not but kids who grew up in LA although they drink the aqueduct water they come from the other side of the Hill so they don't have the eyes or the ears to see or hear when the aqueduct is safe so when they go swimming they drowned when we go swimming we're having fun sucks to lose a close friend

[@mattdubz6618]

Dude you gotta work on your writing/typing skills. Without any periods or commas I couldn’t understand a thing you said here.

[@wolverinex4243]

Instant death if you cannot swim and are alone.

[@mehe6526]

I caught a baby shark outta there

[@2cautious]

That a catfish

[@veramann]

Some fishermen should not be trusted at a drinking water. Hopefully they don't pee in there.

[@lashawncraig9560]

There no bath rooms where else am I supposed to go fish do it

[@uterotourettes15]

I took a dump in it

[@jerryrilea1018]

Thanks for everything! Here’s a little something for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3XIh6uEltlnftU

[@jacksonvang3429]

Why did it have to be a Mexican that was drowning

[@mattdubz6618]

Because the Mexican crashed? Obviously?

[@veramann]

There are better places to go fishing.

[@chrisprimo7970]

I know you hate me cuz I know how to walk that line between yes no and maybe and that really bothers you cuz I'm better at it than you and that's your job
