Trout Season Opens Strong

Trout season opened January 1st in the south zone and good reports are all around indicating the winter and spring fishing should be excellent.  I made it out on New Year's Day with a few buddies, and can confirm the action is pretty good.  We caught north of 70 fish and easily got our 3 man limit of 12 keepers on DOA Cal shad tails paired with 1/8 oz. jigheads, and Love Lure's tandem rigs on 1/16 oz. jigheads.  The Love Lures slightly outfished the shad tails but the DOA's held their own.  Most of the action was in 2-4' over dark bottom.
