Kokanee Salmon Counts by Boat - July 26, 2019

New Melones is proving to be one of the best fisheries in the West. This 3.8 lb Kokanee landed July 22 only helps solidify this lakes reputation as a top 4 lake in the US for freshwater sportsfishing. Known for being an outstanding lake for bass angling, this year has drawn Kokanee anglers from all over the West to limit out on these landlocked salmon.

Jay Winchester of Lockeford was hammering on the Kokanee once again along with Harold Garibald landing a limit of Kokanee up to 1.3 lbs. Trolling Apex lures down 25-30 ft. and using a watermelon dodger & garlic scent. Best bite time was 9:00am
