New Hogan Reservoir
New Hogan Lake is located in the oak and brush-covered foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The 4,400 surface acre lake was created in 1964 with the completion of New Hogan Dam. When full, the lake has 50 miles of shoreline and extends nearly 8 miles upstream to the confluence of the north and south forks of the Calaveras River. The dam provides flood protection to the city of Stockton and water for irrigation, drinking and hydroelectric power.
Year-round fishing for Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Bluegill and Catfish will delight experts and beginners alike. Some of the best fishing is found in protected coves around the lake. For Largemouth Bass, try throwing rip baits near fallen timber on the main lake. Plastic Baits around rocky areas will also produce. You can also try throwing Jigs, Topwater baits, and Spinnerbaits around island tops throughout the lake. Striped Bass are the dominant species in New Hogan Reservoir. You can see fish boiling all over the lake. The best method of catching Stripers on New Hogan is to find the boiling Stripers.
When you locate a school of Stripers, try throwing soft jerk baits, Crankbaits, Spoons, RipBaits, and Top Water Baits. Most Stripers average four pounds, but there are much larger fish available. The lake record is 31 lbs. For bait anglers, try throwing butterflied Shad in the boils. Shore anglers have success throwing Spoons, Crankbaits and cut baits such as anchovies and mackerel for both Striped Bass and Catfish.
