[#0000FF]Maybe Geezer will chime in here. He grew up in that area and fished it a lot as a youngster (long time ago). He still has family out that way and gets occasional reports...on water levels, etc.
We have been codgertatin' trips out there either in May or during the winter...for ice fishing...but Mama Nature always gets nasty about the time we plan to head over.
Still Sacramento perch in there. Also some channel cats and carp. Not sure about what else. That's why I wanna get over there too.
It is never a deep lake...deepest at the dam end to the north. And I suspect it will be suffering this year along with other irrigation ponds.
Geezer said the best fishing is in the early spring, at the south end of the lake...with plain old worms. I have fished for Sacramento perch a couple of places in California and I can verify they hit a variety of jigs...especially if you tip them with worm.
Here's a pic of a mounted Sac perch from Pyramid Lake in Nevada.
