New Melones Fishing Report week of June 20, 2011

Trout:    We have a new lake record brown trout!  Garrett Anderson of Sonora was bank fishing upriver with a brown-trout patterned Rapala CD-7, and landed a 13-pound, 3-ounce brown.  The fish was 30 ½” long and had an 18 ¼” girth.   With the kokanee action so hot, few anglers are targeting trout, but we are seeing the occasional rainbow thrown in with a limit of kokanee.  If you wish to target trout, fish 35-45 feet deep over deepest water in the main lake with shad-patterned lures such as Excel, Apex, Needlefish, or Rapala Countdowns, and use Bang or ProCure threadfin shad scent on your lures.  If you are in the mood for a boat ride, head upriver and still-fish under the logjam.  Bank anglers should head to local creeks like Angels Creek.
