Lake Oroville fishing report by Josh Brown

Lake Oroville - Oroville, CA (Butte County)

Water temperature:  83 degrees to 85.5 degrees

Water visibility:  2 feet or less

Lake level is dropping a foot a day. Bidwell launch is all the way down to the 3rd low water launch ramp. Spillway is on the gravel launch ramp which 4 wheel drive is required. these are the only 2 launch ramps open at this time.

Fishing is good when you find them. Fish holding to structure tend to be grouped up. Bass are pushing bait all day up into coves. Throwing crankbaits and spinnerbaits in coves with trees in them are most productive. Also throwing a dropshot will catch you some fish. Using the good old margarita mutilator roboworm is catching them but also brighter colors like the bold bluegill working as well. Hope this bit of info helps you out on you next trip out to Lake Oroville. tight lines
