New Melones Reservoir Fish Report

Cold snap should cool the surface temperature drastically making for some pretty good fishing.  The cold surface temperature will move more fish to the surface making them easier to catch for both trolling anglers and bank anglers.  Trolling anglers should try fishing from 30' 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 planner.  Try using small shad patterned spoons and spinners fished behind a string of flashers. Also, be sure to let plenty of line out.  The fish that are feeding on or near the surface will be easily spooked by the boat wake. Bank anglers have been catching more and more fish each week.  Most anglers are targeting fish that are feeding near the bottom.  Try using a sliding sinker with an 18-24" leader and a light wire hook.  With this set up you will be able to use Power Bait Dough, Power Eggs, marsh mallows, crawlers, or a combination.  The key is to use a light wire hook, and before you make a cast, check to see if your bait is floating.  There are also quite a few fish feeding and cruising near the surface.  The best way to target these fish is with a bubble/crawler, or a bubble/fly rig.  Also, casting and retrieving and Kastmaster, is a great way to cover water and find feeding fish.
