Line Creek Lake Fishing in Fresno County, California

• Overview

  Line Creek Lake belongs to Fresno County, California. The country round it is mixed woodland from end to end. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it. It is a small entry by Fresno County standards. 22 miles away sits Auberry, the nearest town. Oakhurst is 25 miles and Mammoth Lakes 28 miles. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Line Creek Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Fresno County cover brown trout, brook trout, rainbow trout and green sunfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Read Line Creek Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 30°F in February up to 59°F in August. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Expect Line Creek Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Kaiser Wilderness covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Bonnie Lake at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Line Creek Lake if anything is unclear.
