Striped Bass
Pursuing striped bass near Clovis, California, means heading to the San Joaquin River and its connected reservoirs, most notably Millerton Lake. While not as abundant as in coastal waters, stripers offer a thrilling freshwater challenge here. The spring spawning run is a prime time, as stripers migrate upstream. Target areas near structure, current breaks, and where tributaries enter the main river channel. Live bait, such as shad or minnows, is a classic and effective choice. A local pro-tip: Pay close attention to water releases from Friant Dam, as these can trigger feeding activity. Also, be aware of seasonal closures to protect spawning fish. While some larger fish are caught, the average size in the San Joaquin system tends to be smaller than their saltwater cousins, but they still offer a great fight on light tackle. Access is available at several points along the river and around Millerton Lake, but check local regulations regarding access and permitted fishing methods.
