Main river still a bit high along 108 to Kennedy Meadows. Fished along it and Clark’s Fork. Another great day. River was clear with light rain off and on. All catch and release.
Caught and released 60 before 11am. All were caught along Clark’s Fork by my son and I. Also tried the main river going up to Kennedy Meadows along highway 108. Main river is still flowing to high and not much luck.
The bass bite is slowly getting better and better at New Melones. Water temps are now in the low 60s, and spotted bass are starting to key in on shallower transition points and structure in 10-20 feet. Baitfish imitations have been best... blade baits, swimbaits, and jerkbaits are all hooking fish. A few bigger largemouth are being caught as well...

Baitfish imitations have been best... blade baits, swimbaits, and jerkbaits are all hooking fish. A few bigger largemouth are being caught as well on green pumpkin crawdad imitations (jigs, soft plastics).
The Kokanee bite is finally going, with limits coming for trollers running pink or gold hoochies in 30-50 feet. Size has been underwhelming, but numbers are good.
A few nice rainbows have reportedly been caught from shore on small swimbaits and ned rigs. Likely from folks going for bass.
