New Melones kokanee jigging calls for small lures, controlled vertical movements, and careful attention to depth as fish gather near tributaries and spawning areas. This guide explains how to find them, present a lure effectively, and follow California fishing regulations.
Essential Concepts
Fish near tributaries, channels, points, and depth changes. Use small kokanee-colored jigs or spoons. Jig vertically at the sonar-marked depth. Handle and release fish carefully. Check current California regulations.
