Spotted bass are still the name of the game at Folsom. Plenty of fish pushing shallower and shallower looking to bed, and they are biting everything. Quality-sized healthy fish. Swimbaits and spinnerbaits have been the best, but don't hesitate to dropshot or worm as well. King salmon and rainbow...
