Hi All,
We made a trip to Melones on Tuesday the 16Th with two great clients (Brothers)
The fishing was a tough one and I mean tough we only boated four fish and had three other strikes, the best part of the day was when we boated a beautiful Three pound Rainbow.
We covered alot of water for our efforts, we tried many different depths and lures.
It was a beautiful day to be on the water.

Hi all,
Okay its time for an update on the fishing,
Lets see we had two trips this week at Don Pedro.
The first trip was Monday the 8Th of Feb, the fishing was okay, it was not as fast as I would have liked, but we still boated 8 fish and lost a couple and missed four strikes, the fish are still in the top 12 feet of water, we covered several miles of water to find our fish.
Also on Monday an eight pound brown was caught out of Don Pedro, not by us, although it should would have been nice to catch a monster fish like that.
Now on Thursday the 11Th we fished some of the same water,but did not spend to much time there as we only caught a few fish here and there, so we tried some new water and it paid off, as we boated eleven fish all nice fish in the two to two and a half pound range all quality fish!
We only lost three fish this day and we had about four other strikes that the fish just did not get the hook far enough into there mouth, but we can not catch them all every time.
I am sorry as we have no pictures of these two trips, hopefully next time the camera will get to go fishing with us.
Now for some big news, if you have not already heard this that on Thursday the 11Th at Melones a new lake record Brown Trout was caught, yes a Thirteeen pound one ounce Brown was caught, now that is a trophy fish!
Thanks
