El Salto Fishing Report
Stacy S. Twiggs
Somebody PLEASE put me back on a plane headed to “Old Mexico!” I’ve
been fortunate to visit Lake El Salto at full pool and at varying
stages in between. On a recent trip with some great friends, we call
ourselves the “El Salto Posse,” I experienced Salto when even the
locals have only witnessed the lake this low once before. With one
bug-eyed glance, we quickly learned what had been beneath us in the
depths of this mountain fishery on all those previous journeys.

15-1/2-Pound Bass Highlights Two Weeks of Red-Hot
Fishing!
By Billy Chapman Jr.
It’s not the first time Les Melton has
caught a bass weighing 15 pounds in El Salto. In fact, during one week fishing
here in 2005, this experienced angler’s top five fish alone weighed an
incredible 71.5 pounds, a lake record. (That’s an average of 14.3 pounds each in
case you were wondering.) During past trips to El Salto, Melton has caught at
least two bass that weighed 15 pounds even. But recently, Melton outdid even his
previous best, landing a gigantic largemouth that tipped the scales at 15.5
pounds. That’s bigger than the state-record largemouth bass in 36 U.S. states!
We don’t want to steal his thunder, however, so let’s allow him to tell you
about it in his own words.

Burning Crankbaits Hot For El Salto’s Trophy
Post-Spawn Bass
By Billy Chapman Jr.
As the normal water level begins dropping due to irrigation, anglers
fishing El Salto are witnessing a phenomenon seen repeatedly during the
past 18 years. Post-spawn bass are stacking up on points, humps and
islands, and the best baits for catching them are fast-burned
deep-diving crankbaits.
Most anglers are starting their early-morning fishing sessions by
casting topwater lures. The topwater bite has picked up a notch
recently, with Rico Pops and Zara Spooks in the colors mentioned above
being the best producers. The best spots are shoreline shallows
wherever shad schools can be found.
