New Melones is delivering solid action for kokanee, trout, and bass. Trolling medium depths with purple and pink hoochies behind a dodger is landing kokanee and trout—watch the birds to locate fish. Bass fishing has slowed with cooler temps, but dropshots and jigs on deep points are still effective. Early morning and late evening offer a chance for topwater bites if you can find busting fish. Stay adaptable, and you’ll find success!
