Hi All, I have not been able to find a quality map of Lake Oroville in Northern CA, any ideas where I can buy one? I know all but one boat ramp for Oroville is closed. Anyone know if there are spots to launch a kayak? Thank you, Led Blimp

The strike! The moment when old men turn into little boys again... Day's First Strike Moon and sun stare at each other across the sky The night shift ending Wind nowhere to be found Sliding across a blue-green sheet of glass Spotting a crippled oak bent half dead Splayed out over the lake Roots exposed holding on with a last desperate grasp Finger like digging into the eroded red clay of North Carolina A perfect cast Placing the Heddon right beside the branches that have already given in Dangling limbs into Kerr's cool water Waiting for the few ripples the Zara caused to cease Then a single twitch And the plate glass shatters Spraying shards into the sky Largemouth engulfing both trebles Crashing sideways back to where she can breathe Spitting out the false offering Leaving tears in her wake.

If you haven't hooked yourself you don't fish enough. My worst came on the St. Regis River in the Adirondacks. A tiny small mouth hit my chug-bug while fishing in my kayak. About 20 feet from the boat a 30" pike devoured the small mouth and my lure. Got him to the kayak, line way too tight. Chickened out from grabbing the fish with the really nasty teeth so I grabbed my line above the lure and the pike gave his last fight right then and spit the hook catapulting it into the index finger of my left hand burying it well past the barb. Be darned if I could get it out. My chug-bug now hangs in the glass showcase in the hallway of the Saranac Lake, NY Hospital Emergency room with more then 1,000 other lures that they have dug out of fishermen over the years. Until later, Led Blimp

Is there a specific range of air temp and water temp that starts the top water bite or is it when there are enough bugs on the surface to draw up the bait fish? Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Led Blimp
