Here's How to Fish New Hogan and local Hunting and Fishing Clubs
There‘s a good reason for New Hogan Reservoir being included
in the “Mother Lode" foothills
lakes:
lt's a wealth of fishing opportunity. The list of freshwater
species at the impoundment of the
Calaveras River includes largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, crappie, catfish,
bluegill, and rainbow and brown trout.
And there’s always the chance that a landlocked
salmon or a spotted bass will be landed as well. To learn how to fish New Hogan , read on.
The reservoir stretches for close to seven miles with its
sometimes rugged shoreline, its many shallow coves and its small islands. The
first place boaters will want to head is the
south trees area in the Bear Creek and Whiskey Creek arms. Where it's peaceful even with water- skiers
out in the lake. There’s some large trees in there and work right in among
them.
Check the New Hogan fish map above, Bear Creek Arm as
very good for crappie anglers using Mini-Jigs or small minnows. The action is not
as good in the Whiskey Creek Arm because there is less brush for cover. Another good place to try is in the
Haupt Creek Arm in the north end of the lake. ln addition there are some other crappie holes dotted
here and there.
For the most part,
the crappie run right around the one- pound mark. New Hogan once kicked out the state record
crappie- a fat 4 pounds and 1
ounce. The largemouth bass inhabit the
same areas as the crappie. Good cover for crappie is good for bass as well.
There‘s also bass
hooked Wrinkle Cove, but only go part of the way up because of a
swimming area at the end of the cove, as
well as in other parts of the reservoir.
The California Conservation Corps has dropped
brush to improve fish habitat. ln other
areas, the corps has even planted
willows for cover.
Bassers will want to use minnows or black and purple plastic worms to entice the bass in the spring.
As the water warms up in early summer,
anglers should switch to spinnerbaits
and surface plugs. The same gear will be
effective for the smallmouth bass which
can also be pulled from the south trees area and in the Haupt Creek Arm.
The smallmouths run as
big as 3 pounds at New Hogan. An occasional
spotted bass landed, but any bass from the south trees area have been hit well
during the spring and the action continues to hold until the warmest days of the summer.
Then the bite will slow,
but until then anglers can expect to land
largemouths up to 8 and 10 pounds. On the sunnier days this spring, bass
fishermen will also want to try the other many shallow coves and rocky
points around New Hogan. Look at the New Hogan fish map and the shallow
coves near Deer Flats or the rocks near
Coyote Point as good spots to try on the
warmer days. Lake records came Coyote
Point area, ar 15 pounds 1 ounce.
Striped bass also
bend poles at New Hogan. The largest striper
hooked at the reservoir hit 24 pounds. and the best action is the narrows
toward the north end of the lake. The narrows are just past a group of
islands and the water there is cool and deep.
ln the spring, the stripers will be deep, but with warmer weather, the fish will
sometimes be boiling off shad,
especially in the early morning and the late
evening. Two methods are popular
with striper anglers. Both the troll and the cast-and-retrieve are effective
ways to entice the large bass with minnows or broken-backed Rebels.
Although the state is
no longer stocking the reservoir with
trout, anglers can expect to land some average-sized rainbows and browns from New Hogan. The
upper stretches of the Calaveras River
Arm are the trout anglers best bet. Both rainbows and German browns are taken
there, and generally run 12 to 13
inches.
Small minnows or salmon eggs are the best baits to
entice the trout. There’s some good
trout action in the Calaveras River
below the dam as well. The river is known to hold a lot of rainbow trout, most
people fish the river with eggs or worms, but fly fishermen do well too. Brown Mosquito
flies size 12 or 14 throughout the spring and summer and they‘re especially
productive in the evenings. Have a great time and check out our fishing map site and fishing reports for more information.
