Any advice for fishing Pardee for trout?

[Bluegrass Bill]

Hi Folks, I have not been able to get out fishing yet this year and getting the bug to do so. I would normally look to fish Pyramid this time of year but with being closed and now just limited areas to fish I think it is a zoo up there. I have heard that Pardee can be a good early spring reservoir for trout and wondered if anybody who fishes it might be able to provide me any advice on fishing it. I have a float tube and would appreciate any kind of advice, or experience of others who fish it. Thanks! pm's would be great as well.

Over the years I have heard that people fish planted trout in the winter at near by places like Rancho Seco, Pardee reservoir, Camanche reservoir and Camanche pond.

I have fly fished Rancho Seco and Pardee some in the winter from a small boat.

I guess with all this weather that water clarity might be an issue......
