Fishing Oroville Lake 05/03/2016
Launched at Lime Saddle about 6:15am, fished till 11am. Bite was better today. Tossed wacky weightless Senko's the whole trip, and glad I did. Seemed every single stop on the way to the N. Fork had fish to catch, crazy good fishing right now. Managed 23 spotted bass this morning with two 15", 4...

Re: Lake oroville
I'd venture to say that spots don't die at the rate shown, quite the opposite. Every year I catch the same fish caught before and released or broke off. Happens about 2 times every year. Remove baits, hooks, so many times from other fisherman loosing fish. They are very hardy if treated with respect...

Water still coming up nicely, as of yesterday, water at 662.51 ft. making it a 13 foot gain from low water mark. Bet fishing is going to be interesting next week. My guess not so good!! Can hardly wait for this ramp to be fixed up, tired of gravel!

Ramp is fine, gravel, not steep, easy in and out. This is from about a month ago. 4wd a must for larger boats, actually required by the state.
