30 fish day for the Informative Fisherman, and Matt Frazier on New Melones Lake. Thanks for letting us share!

Some of the healthy salmon landed this year. With pictures like this its hard to say the salmon run was a bad one this year guys! Great job.

12/7/20: Bon voyage water for food and people! For the month of November, even knowing we could be heading into a multi year drought, northern reservoir manager...s continued to release water through the Delta, and into the Pacific Ocean anyway. Environmental regulations say the flows are necessary to produce a rebound of endangered Delta smelt and Chinook salmon, yet zero of either species have been collected in all of the latest trawling surveys, where they spend several days a month searching in more than 200 spots. This practice of releasing water and hoping fish improve, has been unsuccessful for nearly 30 years. Both species are close to extinction. Even with little to no rain to speak of in November, an amount of freshwater equal to a year's supply for 3,031,560 people, was emptied from storage and added to the supposedly rising sea level. It is equal to 987,836,857,560 gallons (987.8 billion) or 303,156 acre feet. Last week State Water Project contractors, who provide water for 27 million people and 750,000 acres of the most productive farmland on Earth, were given their initial allocation of 10%. Put another way, 303,156 acre feet was sent to the ocean for failing fish-saving policies in one month will little rain, while contractors received 422,848 acre-feet to share among 27 million people and 750,000 acres of food production.

How does California get to the ban of gas powered cars by 2035, and forced onto public transportation? Raising gas taxes and hiking DMV registration fees helped... to kick that off already by making driving more expensive. Then there is the "road diet" prohibiting additional lanes from being added to freeways to alleviate congestion. And now to really make driving miserable, a new topic is being churned out for public bombardment: "Tire chemicals kill fish!" Up next, the leveraging of the Endangered Species Act to prohibit travel on certain freeways that cross creeks, and rivers where tire chemicals can be washed in? The barrage of articles laying the groundwork for it are already being mass produced. See more

New Melones is producing some good angling off shore as well as trolling the spillway and Carson creek. The Oswalds from Hollister came in with a couple nice limits.
