• Where to Fish on Miller Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Across Harper County, recorded fish include common carp, largemouth bass, bluegill, Rio Grande longear sunfish and green sunfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Miller Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 33°F in January to roughly 82°F in July. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. On Miller Lake that shapes the whole year. Long daylight spreads fish out; short daylight concentrates them.
