Wood Swim Baits - News
"A swim bait on a lead head jig is a good bait in those submerged tree tops about 20 feet below the surface, depending on the level of the lake." The Ouachita River was dammed in 1952 to form the huge reservoir that flooded much of the forest land.
Anglers were doing well on shad, mostly above Sunrise Blvd., especially around Sunrise Blvd. Some stripers were caught, too, on swimbaits and jerkbaits. Salmon season opens this Saturday on the American River, but don't get too excited since salmon
They are being caught on swimbaits, topwater plugs, minnows, and crawdads. Fly fishers are scoring on Clouser-type streamers. A few salmon are being caught in Nimbus Basin as well as at the mouth of the American on Kwikfish and jigs.
Bass generally are caught on artificial lures. Catfish bite fresh-cut and prepared baits. Stripers take lures and live shad or herring. Crappie can't resist minnows and jigs, and white perch prefer shiny lures and minnows. Stripers: 16-inch minimum
Most of the action is above Sunrise Blvd. Fishing for striped bass provided some action on Pencil Poppers, swimbaits, jerkbaits, and softshell crawdads — if you can get them. FEATHER RIVER, Yuba City — Fishing for salmon was a near-total bust.

Winter fishing can be fantastic, unless you choose the wrong clothing. For winter fishing you should wear the same things you might wear skiing or snowmobiling, plus a bit extra. One key item is fleece fingerless gloves. You must wear fingerless gloves so you have control over your line. Fingered gloves just don't work. The fleece gloves retain heat even when wet and dry easily. Another great piece of clothing is the boot foot wader by Simms. This newly redesigned wader is warm and comfortable. Regular Stocking Foot waders pale in comparison. For winter fishing nothing beats the boot foot. Summer clothing has advanced a lot over the past few years. It wasn't too long ago that we always wore waders or hip boots in the summer. There just wasn't the clothing available to fish comfortably any other way. Manufacturers like Patagonia, Simms and Cloudveil, have excellent choices for the summer angler. For most of the summer season you are able to wet wade with quick dry pants and sandals. There are two different types of shirts made specifically for fishing. You can select standard button-up shirts in both long and short sleeves. These are quick dry like the pants and most offer an SPF factor. The other type of shirt is a T-shirt style of lighter weight material than the conventional button-up. Both are quick drying and cool in hot weather.

Flipping For Bass
The technique of pitching has largely replaced it in some quarters, but the flipping technique remains the same ultra precise, this is a deadly method of catching large bass in cover that Californians Dee Thomas and Dave Gliebe first brought East 30 years ago. This was a technique that revolutionized the sport. When the technique of flipping was introduced to the fishing world it was the most effective method ever. The fisherman learned that flipping was amazingly accurate procedure to get the big bass out of cover. It was such an outstanding weapon the fisherman from the west where the warriors in the early and mid 70s. Bass Pro fisherman Roland Martin says flipping changed everything, suddenly we had a way to get a bait to big bass in some bad places.
The virtues of flipping have not changed. Bass fisherman fishing for the bigger bass always pays off when they are flipping for individual bass instead of schoolies. Individual fish are normally big fish. They'll hold on the most unusual piece of cover in the area. They stake out their own territory.
