The spotted bass bite at Oroville continues to be solid as water temperatures dip into the high 40s. Most fish are holding deep, from 40 to 70 feet, near points and steep rocky drop-offs. With the cold water, bottom contact has been key. Heavy football jigs and Carolina rigs have been most productive.

Quite a few fish have also been spotted and caught around baitfish schools (shallow in the mornings), and A-rigs are the ticket. Big bellies on these fish... full of shad.

King salmon are showing up for trollers, primarily being caught between 60-80 feet. Green and chartreuse hoochies are getting fish.

Water clarity is sitting at about 5 feet, but is improving with the calmer weather.
