Salmon at Oroville are starting to pick up. Guys trolling down around 50-60 feet by the spillway and dam are getting kings between 14-16”. White hoochies and Brad’s plugs are working well.

Salmon at Oroville are starting to pick up. Guys trolling down around 50-60 feet by the spillway and dam are getting kings between 14-16”. White hoochies and Brad’s plugs are working well. Bass are pushing into shallower areas (backs of coves and flats), and they’re hungry. Umbrella rigs have been killing it over the last month, but finesse guys are now tossing drop-shots, shaky heads, and green crawfish T-rigs shallow for quality fish. Expect the bass bite to really take off once water temps bump up a few degrees after this week’s storm moves through.
