Rowdy ... I used to fish the Robinson Creek area, mostly from the dam back to the incoming creek itself. Goat Island was always pretty good, for me. Used to camp at the Lone Valley Campground, and fished those areas around the last week of April. Mostly we would just cast RR's & jigs to the bank, but occasionally we'd longline troll them ... or drift with minners.

I think the Holmes Bend area starts earlier, which is why a lot of people congregate in that area. Plus the marina & all its facilities are a factor to some. Lots of brushpiles & stuff are planted in that area, too.
