Anglers on Lake Oroville need to look deep for their quarry, reported Don Reighley at Oroville Outdoors. "The bite has gone down to 20-40 feet", said Reighley. "Lots of fish are being caught from daylight to 10:00 AM, and then again in the late afternoon on main lake points and slots. Best lure has been a green pumpkin tube rigged on a  ? ounce darthead.
