I had never tried fishing the opener at East Park ... Colusa County operated lake that opens in April and closes in October each year.
Caught some nice Crappie on a gray Wooly Bugger (#6) and caught bass on larger Brown Buggers, size 2. Lots of anglers on the bank, a few boats, and nine fishing kayaks. Most of the bass were caught on rip baits (that I witnessed) a few on Spinner baits.
Nice lake, no trash (although that may have changed due to all the opening day visitations)
dmit:
Is East Park closed to any fishing outside of April to October? I live in Redding and want to try East Park, Stoney Gorge , Black Butte.
