Does anyone know when the Stripers are in that area?
I would guess Sept through Dec?

I fished the POS for years , all Months , all conditions . What did I learn ??
It's usually 'needle in a haystack' . Stripes are always there , but the turning basin is 30+ feet deep , and the Stripes normally are on the bottom , or suspended close to it . Your highest percentage options are -
#1 . Fish Lake Washington for LMB and Crappies , though I understand that most of the sunken boats were removed several years ago .... so the Fish won't be concentrated on them . Also I saw a LOT of people keeping LMB , both overlimiting and undersized Fish .
#2 . Big Shad population in there . Sometimes , in late Fall/early Winter .... the Stripes will drive them into the barge canal . Less than 15 feet deep , so your odds using flies go way up . I have had 40+ Striper days out there from a float tube .
Most days , using leadcore out in the turning basin can scratch up a few , but it is work . Not sure how safe it is to be out there anymore , but it was touchy 5+ years back . I can only imagine , what with the increase of homeless , junkies ,etc. .... that CA. has seen over the past few years , you would want to watch your Car and gear closely .
Hope this helps !

My Wife and I had a Daughter in 2017 , and by 2018 we'd made a plan to leave . We escaped last July , because things were just becoming out of hand . Rioting and looting (wait .... 'protesting' .) just a few miles from our home , people literally crapping in the street , kids barely in their teens smoking meth at a local park in broad daylight . NOT the place to raise a child ! I had already quit fishing in CA. perhaps 5 years before leaving . My local Smallmouth streams were hammered by catch and keep , and too filthy w/ human shit and drug paraphernalia/needles to have contact with .The American River parkway was already a sketchy place 20 years ago when I was fishing it hard . Now ? You couldn't pay me to go out there unarmed . People have become desensitized , and the rule of law and basic civility/sanitation/sanity has fallen by the wayside ...
My Child will never grow up thinking any of that nonsense is 'normal' -
