Fishing Oroville Lake 05/10/2017

Post by Tom Gronwall »

Got launched about 6am, stopped fishing at 15:15am when the breeze got to blowing. Awesome bite, wide open bite for anyone who wants to go fishing now. Active fish nearly every location I fished with most locations giving up 4-6 fish, one location gave up 7 fish. Decent size fish for the most part. Got 43 fish today, largest right at 15 1/2", two at 15", 3-4 in the 14 1/2" range, with all others 13-14" and only two dinks today. Lost 2 decent fish that had that 15" range plus feel. Hot fishing, so get out on the lake while the bite is on. Fish ranged from 15 foot range to 30-35 foot range, most in the 20-25 foot mark. Water now 67-68 degrees.

Hi Tom, I don't post much here but I have been reading your reports for years now it seems like. I know you launch at Lime Saddle all the time. Do you know if the Spillway launch is open to the public yet? I would doubt it but I see on TV that they do have a roadway to get there but it might just be that its just for the construction people to use.
Fish bite twice a day - half hour before I get there and half hour after I leave.

Yes, live 22 minutes away, spillway about 50 minutes to ramp. Don't think it's open, too much going on these days. Sure bidwell is open.

The spillway is not open. In fact in the lake about 1/2 mile out from the dam is a bouy line that says no boats. Bidwell is open though.
