      Report: U go tell them Deltaking. Can't believe vinny(ignorance fool) label every fisherman with bobber are proacher or every bank fisherman in this case. They have the right to fish how ever they like, as long as it's in the legal guidelines. Does vinny actually sit there n watch them catch over limits? Just because he can't catch fish, now he gotta blame it on the bank fisherman. Get a life man or go frog hunting..there's plenty of those around, maybe that hobby u can alwyz catch something. I wish this vinny guy stunk every time he goes out fishing

      Water Clarity: Stained (2-4 foot visibility)

      Report: Rich and I were tired of catching "all" those fish at CFW, so we decided to head up to Oroville for a real challenge....we found it. The fish cooperated for the most part. Landed 15 total, missed at least that many for sure. The bite just died when the wind stopped at about 5:30pm so we headed out at that point
      City: plumas lake

      Tips: Worms and jigs, no reaction for us. Did have quite a few followers back up to the boat though, maybe here soon some reaction could pick up. I had quite a few hit my jig when I was pulling it up from the bottom, finally I got that figured out and started to land those fish as well. Good Luck.

      Report: Well Rich and I headed back out to CFW to try our luck again in the boat and on the lake. It was a little chilly no doubt, but the fish...well they were in the mood to bite! Had the best day ever on CFW numbers not many in numbers (18), but the overall quality of the fish was great. Several several fish 15" to 16.5" in length that's a positive for this reservoir.
      City: Plumas Lake

      Tips: As I stated in my last post, have patience. We worked out tails off for those fish it took eight hours to get that many, just have fun. Plastics of course DH/DS and jigs, no reaction as of yet.
