Millerton Lake State Recreation Area

Lifeguarding is not for everybody; its a calling, not just a job. Working the shoreline of a valley reservoir presents its unique challenges as well. It's not the beach, afterall. Lifeguards contend with valley heat and the dust, providing excellent, attentive and public first aid services for the visitors of #MillertonLake. If you think you have what it takes to be a Millerton Lifeguard, join us on Sunday, March 14, at 10AM. Any collegiate swimmer can hop off the couch and b...ag 1000 yards, no sweat.

#MillertonLake Fishing Report: October 21-27 - The Fresno Bee There is a solid topwater bite after dusk with largemouth bass to 5 lbs. reported on a Whopper-Plopper 130 in Black-Loon. The River-2-Sea Rover-n-Okie Shad or Powder White is another topwater option, but cooler temperatures are necessary for more consistent action.... During the day, 6 Fat Roboworm’s, Aaron’s Pro Shad, or Neon Greenpumpkin are working along with Brush-Hogs on a Texas-rig in the main lake. Finegold Bay and Sky Harbor have been two productive locations for drop-shotting in shallow water.

#MillertonLake Fishing Report - October 7-13 The Fresno Bee We caught and released numerous spotted bass to 2.5 lbs. working main lake points with the bass found both on the surface or on the bottom.... We found a topwater bite with the River2Sea Rover 128 in Powder White, but the best action was on the bottom with either a 6 Roboworm Aaron’s Pro Shad Fat or a 5 cinnamon red/blue flake Senko on a Texas rig with a light bullet weight at 1/32 oz. Sometimes the plastic would hit the bottom, but the majority of the time, the bass were picking it up and running off with it before it made it to the bottom. We were working steep bluff walls or rocky points from East Bay up the lake to Finegold, and we found our best action in Finegold. Jake Figgs Valley Rod & Gun (559) 292-3474 Millerton dropped slightly to 30%. https://www.fresnobee.com//hunting-f/article246183305.html

#MillertonLake Fishing Report: September 23-29 - The Fresno Bee The lake remains the top bass fishery in the area with numerous spotted bass in the 12 range possible as 40-fish days are possible. Larger fish are hard to locate, but there have been some spotted bass in the 2.5-4 lb. range taken on occasion.... The best action is in the river arm as far as possible in the receding lake, and plastics on the drop-shot, Ned-Rig, or wacky-rig. The 6 Hologram-Shad on a light Neko-Rig along with spy baits in natural shad patterns has also been effective. The bass are suspending around 15-20’ in 40’ of water.
