New Melones Fishing Report from Glory Hole Sports
7-14-14 Fishing Report
Water Conditions: New Melones Lake is currently holding
675,579
acre-feet of water. The lake level dropped three feet this week and is
currently at 892 ft. above sea level and 193 ft. from full. The water
is stained in most areas of the lake, and fairly clear in others. There
are mud lines forming near the shore throughout the day, especially on
windy days. The average water temperature is 74-80 degrees and rising
daily. Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat
launch is open, and there are no plans to close it. There will be some
transition periods between launches where launching will be limited to
one or two lanes.
Trout:
Slow. The trout are roaming the main lake near deeper/cooler water
looking for balls of shad. Anglers should try fishing close to the
surface in the early morning and evening and dropping to 40-60' during
the day. Night fishing anglers are catching limits of fat healthy trout
under a submersible light. Try anchoring the boat in 25-50' of water,
and dropping the light 15-25' feet down. Be patient, it may take
awhile for the light to attract plankton, baitfish, and trout. To catch
them, try using live minnows, mini jigs, Power Bait, and crawlers.
Glory
Hole Sport Big Fish of the Week goes to David Hylton and Brian
Basacker. They caught a handful of chunky rainbows while fishing under a
submersible light near the spillway. The biggest weighed 2-pounds,

Calaveras Arts Council presents: Grover Anderson in Moke Hill’s Shutter Tree Park
Mokelumne Hill was once a sleepy little hamlet but that was decades ago. It is now a bustling hamlet with lots going on; especially about music. On Wednesday, July 16, Calaveras Arts Council brings Music in the Parks to Moke Hill’s Shutter Tree Park and the music will be cranked up with folks dancing, Lion’s Club members selling pies and ice cream, and with much more going on. Music starts at 6:30pm but folks come early to set up camp with their picnic dinners and low back chairs.
Grover Anderson performed last year for MIP but it was one of those summer days when the thermometer read 102 degrees in the shade. This year the temperature will be cooler but the music will be hot. Grover is an amazing, singer-songwriter based out of Murphys with an intellect and style in the prolific traditions of the folk-rock pioneers of the 60s and 70s. Grover says the industry requires a genre so he is all about folk but he prefers to known as a story teller. Regardless of his genre, the crowds will be engaged by his music and storytelling. Grover is accompanied by foothill musicians Kevin Bernido on bass; Josh Certo on drums; and Chris Stevens on lead guitar.
Delta College meets with Community
After months of trying to reach out to Delta College in an effort to enforce the County's post secondary education agreement with Delta College, Supervisor Cliff Edson with some help from locals and muscle from Dana Jorgensen District Director for Senator Berryhill and Frank Bigelow's offices and a Grand Jury report calling into question just where the over 10 million in funds from Measure L from Calaveras residents from 2004 thru 2029 were exactly to be spent, had the Admin of Delta College on the defensive.
Promises were made to hold transferable GE courses here in the foothills as well as possible coordination with Columbia College for courses that Calaveras was not set up to handle, such as College Chemistry.
Mention was also made of placing computers in the local libraries, Delta College computers, for those taking on line courses. Marti Crane, Supervisor candidate for District 5, questioned if they would also be forthcoming with funds to help keep the libraries open for use of said computers.
Delta College will be hiring Sherri Reusche to be the Liaison between Delta and Calaveras County.
A note from Supervisor Cliff Edson:
"Hi folks, looks like we are moving forward with Delta JC and our Post Secondary Education Program right here in Calaveras County. Delta College President Kathy Hart and Delta College Board-member Stephen Castellanos attended a press release that I called today at the San Andreas Branch Library. My goal was to get as many people to attend as I could, get all the press there, and announce the program that Delta College has agreed to offer. Also in attendance was Sherri Reusch, and John Garamendi Jr., both of whom went with me to all of the meetings we had with legislators, board members, and finally Dr. Kathy Hart.
