Taking the kids up to oroville for the weekend. Has that fantastic post spawn bite for numbers started yet? Any tips would be great!

Bite has been great for 5-6 weeks now. Middle fork best for me. Have the kids fish with night crawlers, easy to fish and spots love them. Remember, the spots hug the bottom, gets the kids down on the bottom for fish. Taking my son next week, plan on him (30 yrs old) using night crawlers. Last year he got 26 fish dipping live nigh crawlers, and he's not a fisherman and even a few 15-16". Me, roboworms and or senko's.

Thanks Tom! Might have to leave the wife and daughter at home now with the latest forecast. But my son and I are ready to roll up in the morning

Further out the middle fork, the better.
