A Simple Fishing Plan for Milnes Lake

On a first trip to Milnes, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Milnes Lake

Spring around Milnes is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Milnes can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
