New Melones Reservoir Fish Report

New Melones Reservoir - Angels Camp, CA

The average water temperature is 74-80 degrees and rising daily.  Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is open, and there are no plans to close it. There will be some transition periods between launches where launching will be limited to one or two lanes. Night fishing for trout has been good.  Most anglers using submersible lights at night are catching some really healthy 2 to 3-pound trout.  Try using nightcrawlers and Power Bait to target fish that feed at night.  It is also a good idea to use baits that resemble the shad that are being drawn to the light.  Live minnows work well and soft plastic worms and swim baits will work too.  Trolling anglers have been bringing in a handful of nice trout along with their kokanee. The main river channel will have the coolest water is a good place to locate trout and kokanee. Try trolling in 30-50' of water at 2.5-3.0 mph.  The shad are schooling up. Kokanee are biting and most anglers are catching limits. 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. Orange has been a favorite for a couple of weeks. Fish will be keying on baits that disperse water and create vibration. Try using different blade styles on each setup until you find one that works.  Try using spinners, Apex and bladed hoochies.  It is also a good idea to modify your dodgers by adding a little bend to them.
