    Report: Fishing by 2PM and through 8PM. Hit and miss until about 6PM when the bite turned on. Between my partner and I we Landed ~50 fish... mostly dinks with a limit of keepers and a few in the 2-3lb class.

    Report: In water 5:30 Jones Valley, no wind but rain and the bite was good. Cranked several but no size, dart head was better size with the largest going 2.5lbs.
    Color didn't seem all that important, but smoke with red flake caught big fish and the browns and green seem to always work. Off at 1, good day lots of dinks but some nice fish to keep it interesting.

He was using gitzits thrown right on the bank, I tossed hula grubs on 3/8oz darter heads, mine were salt and pepper yamamotos and my avorite shasta crawlers in root beer by MGM. bite went great between 730 and 10 and died around 11pm. not a soul out there except or a ellow and his wie catishing. The area around Dooles Creek was the best with a run o 17 caught on as many casts in a row, we easily lost as many as we caught and lost double that last night. I went to the 3/8 oz to slow the drop which really worked, most were right on the bank and the better ish were 10t deep, beautiul starlit night with a little moon last night, the next ew days should be better, all came o o rock walls, the more vertical the better. 89 degrees going in and 72 coming out at midnight. 108 in Redding yesterday, no more ishing in the daytime or me!

    Water Temp: 79-83

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: Fished 5/30 from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Sunny and warm. Caught 25-30 fish, 2 of which were a 2 1/4 lb small mouth and my brother Benny got the big fish of the day a 2 1/2 lb spot. We used a 4 inch green weenie by Roboworm. We tried dart head, drop shot and a mini carolina rig like split shotting only with a 1/16 to 1/8 oz bullet sinker and that was the ticket. Where there was no snags I wackie rigged it and where there were snags I texas rigged the worm. We fished the Squaw creek mouth and east side of Jones Valley just before you go into Squaw creek. Some fish were around trees but most were on drop offs.
    City: San Jose

    Tips: If your fish finder does not show fish, split and find a spot that does, learn to trust them and they will save you a lot of time. Fish drop off that go from 0 to 25 feet fast and you should catch fish.
