    I wouldn't exactly call it on the edge of being red hot just yet...that'll come when the surface temps get a little higher and about mid-May...then...look out!

    New Melones Kokanee and trout Fishermen

    Just got back from spending a great day out on the lake. My Grandson and I brought home a nice limit of Kokanee and 2 Rainbow trout, and lost 4 more at the boat. My Grandson is becoming quite a second mate, steering the boat, baiting, and netting. We spent our day in front of the dam and trolled...

I was using the pink micro-hootchie of course tipped with...

    New Melones Kokanee and trout Fishermen

    New Melones Hello SuperD, Yeah, I can see that people are rather tight-lipped about providing information to other fishermen, but like I mentioned, no one is going to run out and catch all the fish if they do post any info. I'm familiar with the lake and hit it about 4-6 times a...

    New Melones Kokanee and trout Fishermen

    Looking for New Melones Lake fishermen to share some hot spots, stories, gear and lures for the year, including lure sizes, hot colors and who makes them and where you can get them. As you know, things seem to change every year, what worked last year may not be what the trout and especially the...
