Fishing at Millerton Lake offers various bass species, including largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, and striped bass. The lake's extensive shoreline habitat and nine-month warm growing season support this robust bass population. Due to its proximity to Fresno, Millerton Lake can become crowded during the summer months. To avoid peak recreational activity times, consider planning trips during early mornings, late evenings, or weekdays. Be aware that low water levels in dry years may limit access to certain parts of the lake.
