New Melones Reservoir Fish Report

Trout are still biting.  Most anglers are catching some nice holdover rainbows along with a handful of planted trout.  The fish are feeding near the surface in shallow bays, and creek channels. Bank anglers are catching limits off of Glory Hole Point and near the Tuttletown boat launch.  Try floating Power Bait or Gulp Eggs off of the bottom.  Many different colored dough baits and eggs seem to work with rainbow, chartreuse, salmon egg, and pink being favorites. Trolling anglers should try fishing from 15' to the surface.  With a large majority of fish moving to shallow water, it's a good idea to troll near the shoreline or use a side planer.  Trolling spoons have been working well.  Speedy Shiners, Needlefish, and Excel Spoons are all good choices.   Be sure to let out plenty of line, 150-200'.  Trout will often react to a faster speed troll from 3-5 mph.   Bass bite is improving. Most fish are schooling in deep water from 30-50' and moving up throughout the day to feed.  It is very important to use your electronics to locate fish and bait.  Try using vertical jigging spoons near the balls of bait.  A great cold water tactic is drop shot rig.  Try using small shad patterned bait and light fluorocarbon line to get these finicky fish to bite.Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333
