New Melones Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander

January 17, 2021 by Randy Walker

Water Temp 52-54 New Melones is still fishing decent for both numbers and quality. With the lack of rain and warmer than usual weather for January, it has the fish unsure if they want to move up shallow or stay deeper. Shad is still found 30ft to 70ft deep but I did see some bass […]

Lake New Melones Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander

January 1, 2021 by Randy Walker

Lake New Melones is fishing pretty good around the board. Fish are in all water columns you can catch them shallow as well as 60+ ft. Every trip out has been 30+ fish days throwing a assortment of baits. Jigs and small swimbaits like a 3.8 Keitech on a ball head fishing it on the […]

New Melones Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander

August 3, 2020 by Randy Walker

Was able to get out on Melones earlier this week. We started out throwing deep crankbaits and a variety of topwater baits on main lake points and humps. In the first hour of doing this we could only manage a bunch of 2lb fish. So I ran to the back of a creek finding lots […]

New Melones Fishing Report by Christian Ostrander

July 8, 2020 by Randy Walker

Water temp 79-84 I’ve been fishing New Melones for the past couple weeks. The water color changed and now has a nice green tent to it. In my opinion this makes the bite better and the fish don’t get as good of a look in your lure and go more off feel than sight. Fish […]

New Melones Fishing Report by Josh Parris

May 21, 2020 by Randy Walker

Water temp 67-70 Water clarity 3-10’ As of May 9th New Melones lake is open and fishing has been great! With being off the lake for over a month I had to really feel out the lake initially to see where the fish were in terms of seasonality and spawn phase. We are in post […]

New Melones Fishing Report by Josh Parris

December 27, 2019 by Randy Walker

Water temp 54-56 Clarity 5-15ft New Melones lake has yet to turn over. With the water still a bit warmer than normal many of the typical fall patterns are still working. The Swimbait bite has been day to day, some better than others. We’ve been alternating between 8-10” soft and hard swimbaits in depths from […]

New Melones Lake Fishing Report by Josh Parris Guide Service

December 2, 2019 by Randy Walker

Water temp 59-61 Water clarity 5-10’ Melones lake has been fishing tuff for bass the last few months. There are definitely still fish to be caught but the overall numbers we are used to seeing this time of year just haven’t been there. Not sure if it’s due to water levels and unusually warm weather […]

Water temp 63-65 Air temp 61-81 Wind 1-3mph Clarity 15-20 feet Clear Skies This past weekend I fished the inaugural California Swimbait Challenge on New Melones lake with Ron Howe as my team partner.
