New Melones Fishing Report Week of 2-21-11

Water Conditions:  New Melones Lake is currently holding 1,1,661,732 acre-feet of water.  The water level rose another two feet this week and is now 1019 ft. above sea level and 69 ft. from full capacity.  Water temperature is about 52-54 degrees at the surface- warmer in the south side of the lake.  Water is really clearing up- gin clear in the main lake with about 15-foot visibility.  There is some staining in the creek arms.  With the rising water, there is about 20 feet of grass line underwater- this will be very beneficial for the spring spawn.  Watch for floating debris and unmarked island tops.
