New Melones Reservoir Fish Report

New Melones Reservoir - Angels Camp, CA

Trout: Slow.  Night fishing for trout has been good.  Most anglers fishing under submersible lights are catching limits of chunky 2-pound rainbows.  Nightcrawlers and Power Bait are working well.  The trout will school in deeper/cooler water during the hot summer heat and move into shallow water at night to feed.  It is a good idea to anchor in 40-60' of water that is near 100-200' areas.  Drop your light 10-20' down and fish your presentations below that. Trolling anglers are catching a few trout while targeting kokanee. Kokanee: Good. Each week we are seeing and hearing of some nice kokanee being caught. The average size is 11-13" with a few fish measuring 14-16".  The fish are schooling in deep water off of Glory Hole Point and near the dam, spillway and Rose Island. A variety of colors are producing limits.  Pink is always a good choice with orange and chartreuse bringing in limits as well. Bass:  Fair.  The spawn is over and the fish are pulled back off the banks and are in the process of recuperation.  They are feeding in the mornings and evening on reaction type baits and top water baits.  Smaller popper type baits have been working well.  Try using Pop-R's, Live Target, and Gunfish to coax surface strikes.  During the day the fish will move out toward deeper water.  At this time of the year the bass are still in a protective/defensive mode.  Try using large soft plastic baits that have many appendages to aggravate the fish.  Brush Hogs and lizards are both good baits and can be fished on many different presentations. Catfish: Very Good.  The big cats are up in shallow water and feeding heavily.  The water temperature is getting warmer each day which has encouraged the cats to move shallow.  Try using frozen shad or a ball of crawlers to target these fish.
