Note, again the weird cold front weather patterns ruling the fishing action at Rollover with warm front days doing well for reds- trout- and flounder and cold front winds keeping the bite down- But despite these staccato fronts trout and red anglers landed specks to 10 lbs and reds to 40 lbs- Hopefully our weather will finally decide what it wants to do and stabilize.
