Good numbers of bass are still on tap at Lake Oroville, reported Fil Torres at Oroville Outdoors. "The sheer numbers of bass are over in the Middle Fork, but the larger fish are in the North fork and West Branch", said Torres. Most are around slot-size, but Dave Rush got a 17-incher in the Tuesday Night Tournament, and a 6.8 pound Florida-strain largemouth was caught last Saturday."

Torres tipped, "Start out in 30 feet of water and work your way shallower. Best lures are tubes in colors like watermelon, green pumpkin and crawdad patterns, or wacky-rigged Senkos in shad, rainbow trout and baby bass colors."
