Re: round valley
I've only fished Round Valley from the shoreline, too.
The problem, it appears to me, is that the reservoir's water is too clean. These pristine, oligotrophic waters just can't sustain a high density of aquatic life.
From the shoreline, the shallows look like a desert, completely devoid of all life except snails.
I've read that the Round Valley Trout Association has tried to stock the waters with alewife herring to create a forage base, but the herring eventually disappeared because there wasn't enough plankton in the water for them to feed on.
Tycomps, check you PM box.
