I picked my son and his friend up Saturday am and we blazed to Glory Hole in record time. Weather was overcast with light winds, temp mid 40’s, 2 days after the full moon. I was worried about the lake being stained up from the Christmas deluge but water varied from slightly colored in Coyote to clear points west. We concentrated in creek arms and had steady action all day on small fish. Limits for all three and then stopped counting. Toplining silver/blue and rainbow kastmaster worked well. Mike ran a cop car needle fish behind a flasher tipped with a crawler 10-15 ft on the rigger and that worked too. We banked it in two different creek arms but they wanted trolled stuff today. Was glad to get the boys on some fish.

Lake looks beaytiful,but damn cold.Fun fish.
Very nice. A fellow Melones angler pointed me to your blog. I live close to melones and have fished it most of my life, but I like seeing it from your viewpoint.
