Catfishing is best with Triple S Dip Bait or chicken livers while largemouth bass are taken with plastics or jigs in the slower stretches of water. In the south aqueduct in Kern County, there hasn’t been much change with the high, cold water levels with cut baits or live minnows working best in the stained water while artificial bite remains slow. Only a few anglers have been out in the rain and cold weather, and an occasional fish on bait is all they can scratch up.” As a result, both water conveyance systems are flowing at near capacity.īill Sterling of Striperz Gone Wild said, “The aqueduct remains extremely slow with the high, muddy, and cold water.
