Oroville works for me, but do need a boat as the walking will kill ya and better fishing locations are not anyplace near access points. Used to shore fish Lime saddle area, right side of the ramp when looking down hill, worked for me a few years ago.

I used to fish Lime Saddle area before I had a boat, did well all around the launch ramp, and to the right side of the ramp as you look down hill, left side never got anything. Most other places the walk is a killer, as the lake is down 114 feet now.
