    Water Temp: 59

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: I ished with a riend rom 5:30 pm to midnight. Fishing was good or bass up to 2 1/2 lbs and a near 4 lb trout that ate his zipper worm. We ished the main body and ound the ish in 5 eet o water. I caught most o the ish (9), maybe because I was using jigs (Rattlin' Weapons) in black/blue. Ater dark was slow with an unusually strong breeze that made ishing diicult. I did manage to catch a 4-2 on a Weapon jig in 30 eet!!! I did not hear o or see any big ish except or a 9 someone had caught earlier in the week. Patience - they will move up!!
    City: Yuba City

    Tips: Bass seemed to be hitting a jig better than a worm - at least the day we were there. I shook the jig, then let it set. Cranked a little - lost one.
