New Melones Fishing Report

Water Conditions:  New Melones Lake is currently holding 1,726,094 acre-feet of water.  The water level rose four feet this week and is now 1026 ft. above sea level and 62 ft. from full capacity.  Water temperature has cooled a bit, and is about 50-52 degrees at the surface- warmer in the south side of the lake and where there are creeks and un-offs.    With the rising water, there is about 35 feet of grass line underwater- this will be very beneficial for the spring spawn.  Watch for floating debris and unmarked island tops.
