New Melones Reservoir Fish Report

New Melones Reservoir - Angels Camp, CA

The water temperature continues to cool with the average being 68-72 degrees.  Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is the road leading off the end of the point.  It is a dirt launch without courtesy docks and 4wd is recommended.

 

Trout: Slow.  The nights are cooling off and the surface temperature continues to drop, which will encourage the trout to move toward the surface.  It would not be a bad idea to use leadcore line or try top-lining. The large rainbows will feed heavily on shad.  There is an abundance of smaller one to two inch shad that the fish are spitting up.  Trolling anglers try using small spoons trolled in tandem.  It is a good time to use ball trolls to resemble a school of shad. Bass: Good.  The lake level has been fairly stable for a couple weeks, which has made the bass more predictable and a bit more comfortable. The bass are closer to a fall pattern and feeding heavily on shad.  The shad are moving from deep water toward shallow cuts and pockets, the bass are hunting them in wolf packs.  There are a lot of fish that are suspended in 35-55' of water.  Try using a spoon to vertically jig through the middle of these schools.  Mack's Sonic Baitfish is a great spoon that can be rigged multiple ways to give the fish a different presentation.  Also, it is a good idea to have a drop shot rig set up for when they quit eating the spoon. There has been a pretty good reaction bite with a handful of fish biting crank baits, jerk baits and small swimbaits.  The jig bite continues to be productive.
