I went today after i took my sister to the dentist i got there at 11am and fished until 3pm and i didnt get a bite the water is real dirty right now it will probibly be a few days until it clears up the fishing will get better when the water clears up. my friend was fishing at willow grove beach he said there was 6 fish on the beach with at least 3 lost. good fishing everyone

[Dustin07]

what about drano lake? i heard they were catching well in there?

[bullcanyon]

We went 2-5 with one of the 5 being a king.  Daughter landed her first steelhead.  Learned something new today.  The "crew" were using a sliding sinker set up that allowed it to slide between the two riggings.  We switched and it worked, but why?  Can't figure it out.
