The average water temperature is 76-82 degrees.  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 fishing has been getting better and will as we approach fall.  There are very few anglers on the lake and very little boating traffic in general.  Late summer/early fall is a great time to troll deep water and catch some hefty trout.  The lake record rainbow trout was caught at this time of the year, fishing a deep water pattern.  John Gray landed a massive 8-pound, 2-ounce rainbow while fishing with Take it to the Limit Guide Service. Trolling anglers try using shad patterned spoons trolled in 60-90' of water.  Excel, Needlefish and Speedy Shiners are good choices.  Another trick that will trigger strikes is a tandem spoon rig.  This is when you troll two spoons at a time separated by an 18-24" leader.  The two baits will resemble a couple bait fish that have strayed from the school making them an easy target.  Night fishing anglers have been doing well fishing under a submersible light.  Live minnows, Power Bait and nightcrawlers work well fished under and around the light.  Bank fishing has been very slow. Kokanee: Almost Done. The season is winding down and very few anglers a targeting the kokanee. Bass:  Fair.  The FLW College Teams fished and event on New Melones this past weekend.  Some teams found some really nice bass.  Top 3 went to Fresno State Teams, with Jeremy Pitts and Michael Cantu taking first place with over 22-pounds for five fish.  They had a 12-pound largemouth that ate a CRL Jig in the mid-morning. The bass are in a late summer/early fall pattern.  The shad are starting to school up in the deep water and the bass are hunting them in wolf packs.  Many trout anglers that are trolling over deep water with shad patterned spoons are catching chunky 2-pound spotted bass.  Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333
