New Melones Reservoir Fish Report

New Melones Reservoir - Angels Camp, CA


by Nor Cal Fish Reports
5-2-2012

Water temperature is middle to high 50s, and exceeding 60 degrees on warm days. The water temperature is really warming up, and will continue to do so with the warm weather. Lake is slightly stained, with mud lines forming around the shore on windy days. e bite is still good for both bank anglers and trolling anglers. The water temperature in the shallows is warming up faster than the main lake, pushing the trout out into deeper, cooler water. Bank anglers are still catching 2-3 pound rainbows off of points, using Power Bait and Gulp or Power Eggs. Multi-colored Power Bait with a small chunk of a crawler is a great combo. Trolling anglers have been doing much better since the trout have moved off of the bank. Kokanee are starting to school up and become more aggressive, but are still on the small side. Most anglers are picking up 11-14" kokanee along with a couple of trout to fill out their limit.  Kokanee that are being caught are 10-40 feet deep in the main lake- the north side of the lake has been very productive. Some schools of larger fish are showing up from 40-60 feet, but don't seem to be biting yet. Bass anglers are reporting catching a fish on every cast, and plenty of nice 2 to 3-pound fish. Also, in the last month we have tallied multiple double digit fish. The bass are definitely showing up in shallow water. Bank anglers have been walking the shoreline catching fish on a variety of soft plastics.Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333, (209) 586-2383
