General Fishing Tips / New Melones Kokanee Tips?
« on: March 06, 2025, 03:13:15 PM »
I'm thinking about going out to New Melones to hunt for Kokanee. Anyone have experience on what part of the lake to shore fish and what gear to use? All my rods, besides my fly gear, are too heavy, wouldn't make the occasional rainbow much fun. So I was thinking about trying to cast a hoochie like a streamer or something I could return from one of my lighter fly rods. Is there room to fly cast? Is that a ridiculous idea? Should I find a bass rod with a casting or spinning reel? LMK! Thanks!
