Best Winter Tactics?

[Hookmanski]

Are you allowed to fish at night from the shores at Round Valley? It would be great to build a fire and wet some lines, I work most of the day and a lot of times the only chance I get to fish is at night. I assume the park closes at dusk, but a man can dream can't he?

Another winter tactic I like to do is jig off a bridge for crappie, always a good time, but I want to expand my winter techniques.

Just dont end up parking within the gates. ... lol

Again, plenty of species in the canal willing to bite. And there's no gates there. Ive seen group of teens drive a goddamn jeep through the toe path once.

I wish the canal was closer to me! I've fished there a few times and I've done very well there, but RVR is 10 minutes away from my house and on my way home from work. When I get a chance though I'm gonna hit it at night!

Winter Pickerel fishing is one of my favorite times of year. Finding a nice cold body of water and throwing some suspending baits is a highlight for me.
