The rainbows are a mixed grade with recent planters and holdovers, and we were releasing the planters as much as possible. The shad schools are deep, and we found some larger grade of rainbow as deep as 80 feet. Melones is on fire right now for trout, and the heavy boat traffic of a few weeks ago has died down. High water conditions have led to fat, healthy spotted and largemouth bass, and the bite continues to improve. With the recent double trout plant will spur on the glide bait and swimbait bite for those willing to cast the large baits throughout the day. The most consistent action continues with finesse techniques of plastics or tubes on the drop-shot in 25 to 55 feet of water working best. The bass are moving into the backs of creek channels. The lake rose 2 feet to 1045.70 feet in elevation and 80%
