Lake Oroville Fishing Report

Launched at the Bidwell ramp this morning to forty-seven to fifty degree water with a slight stain. The lake level is rising about a foot a day and the ramp was no problem. You do not need four wheel drive to launch. Started out the day throwing reaction baits on main lake points, spinner-bait and rip-bait. It didn’t take long to figure out this wasn’t gonna work.The bites just weren’t there. From there we pretty much covered the entire lake. Ended up catching a ton of fish throughout the day, most came on the drop-shot and jigs. Some came on the Senko , spinner-bait and dart-head. The fish are schooled up tight and you have to cover alot of water to find them. When you locate them you need to slow way down and let them tell you what they want. With the water rising there was a lot of trees and logs floating around. Be careful and pay attention. Hope this helps you out, Good Luck Bob Tyler
