Fishermen on Miilerton Lake, May, 1945. Fresno Bee. "Without attempting detailed comparisons it can be said that the fishing success at Miilerton (as based on numbers of fish caught per fisherman-day) and its yield in number of fish per acre compared favor- ably Avith that recorded for other warm-water lakes both in California and other states. The fishing intensity was reasonably high for a warm- water lake but not excessively so. Both the yield per acre and tlie fishing intensity was decidedly lower than at many California trout lakes. The 310-acre June Lake, for example, had a fishing efi'ort of almost 64 fisher- man-days per acre and a yield of trout per acre during a five-month season in 1942. However, the average catch per fisherman-day was only trout. (Vestal, 1943.) Size and Condition of Fish Only general statements can be made regarding the size of the fish taken at Miilerton Lake. It is probable that the size of the largemouth bass retained did not greatly exceed the range of 9 to 20 inches in total length. Many of these bass were between 9 and 11 inches, but there was also a fairly large number around 15 or 16 inches or over two pounds in weight. All largemouth bass seen were in excellent condition. Many catches of bluegills averaging about six inches in total length were.
