Melones Kokanee arrived like a freight train with big fish opportunities of fish that topped out 18.67 inches and in the 2.5+ lb range and this is only June! At the top end these were the biggest bag limits turned in ever for a Melones single day derby. By end of this season Melones will have a population of 3lb Kokanee lurking beneath. With that said it was feast or famine for some and location was key with most fish concentrated in the lower half of the lake. The fish were still in the cooler upper water column generally from 20 to 40 feet.. also making them hard to see with all of our fancy electronics. Thanks to all that came out to support the fishery and our love for Kokanee fishing.
