went out to Riffe yesterday after school and arrived around 4:45 fishing upstream of the bridge from the bank with a friend. The usually hot bite was off as water had dropped about 3.5 ft it seemed. Me and my friend both caught 1 silver each of good size about 14"; he kept his but I released mine as it was a female looking like she would burst.We were fishing with mostly spinners or worm/shrimp for bait. Not the greatest day at this lake. . anybody know of good hotspots around this time of year that can be fished from the shore?

That female looking to bust is the worms that they carry. Supposedly does not effect the meat, but I catch and release those. That is what causes the bloat. Taidnapam bridge and the dam are the best shore spots. Best time is early morn.

I was fishing up by the dam upriver of the park which is my usual spot. Is the downstream dam hot as well? I've never kept one of the bloated fish and knowing that I probably will continue to do that throw em back. Thanks for the tips.
