Folsom Lake 3/23 Sunday.

Going to Fair Oaks for the weekend, never been to the lake before, any advise on where to put in, bait, lures, depth... and last, but not least, company would be GREAT!!! On the lake solo, VHF ch 69.

Ben, I can't join you on Sunday..wish I could.

I noticed a couple recent Folsom reports on the Sniffer. Hope they help.

Ben-

Good luck to you. You can put in at Folsom Point... it's not that far from the dam. The entrance is over by E. Natomas and Green Valley. (From Fair Oaks... head East on 50 to E. Bidwell. Take that exit and go left a few miles to Green Valley Rd. Actually, I think it's called Blue Ravine Rd over there. It'll turn into Green Valley though. Go up a ways and take a left at E. Natomas... you'll see a Taco Bell on the left corner. The entrance will be on the right about 1/2 mile up.) I hear that they are still pulling some kings out of there. You'll have to paddle your ass off though. They aren't really grouped up at all. Try to roll some shad or drag a mini hooch or kokonut thingy. Use some scent too. I think they've been biting at about 35 to 45 feet deep. If you want to try for bass... you can head up to Browns Ravine and flip around in that area with some senkos and jigs. Entrance to BR is a little further down Green Valley Rd on the left. There's a lot of area out there to cover. I wish I could join you but I'll be on a different kind of a fishin' mission. You probably know where the bait shops are already. Fishermans W/house, Wild Sports... etc.

Tight lines,

Freddie

Ben - I'd join you but I'm visiting the folks this weekend. Takin the boat with me as they live by Tulloch.  Good luck at Folsom and hope to catch-up with you next time your up this way.

How long you're going to fish there?
If I can get off early enough I'll try to be there & fish until dark... or I might just hit the oroville...?
I don't know yet...
