Fished Monday thru Thursday. People at the dock when we got there were complaining about 2-4 days of fishing without even a bite. Monday, Tuesday, and Wed were slow as we tried everything and our old haunts(been fishing there 50 years) and we only had about 12 bites for 3 days fishing...

Merwin Fished yesterday with 3 poles and took about 5 hours to get 20 fish. They were all nice, about 15-17 inches. Bucks graying up for spawning, but cut red, and firm. Shasta blue UV with red wedding rings and red skeleton blade. Corn was soaked in YUM anise and kokannee feast. 55-60...

Merwin I do not think the color is too important this early. We were there on Sat for about an hour an a half and got 10 for 16 bites. One of the rigs had a watermelen dodger with a green/purple wedding ring and anise corn. The other had a UV Shasta dodger and a pink/black wedding ring...
