Fishing at Camp Sixty One Lake, Fresno County, California

• Overview

The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Camp Sixty One Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Reported across Fresno County: brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Work Camp Sixty One Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 29°F in February up to 58°F in August. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. On Camp Sixty One Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Portal Forebay at 1.4 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Camp Sixty One Lake in what we hold.
