THE STATES LARGEST LAKE
The state’s largest lake, and only fifteen minutes from our dealership in Junction City, boasts of great fishing. Walleye concentrate along the face of the dam in early April to spawn, then move to the flats at Farnum Creek and mud points near School Creek. Nearly all of the brushy and rocky coves contain crappie and largemouth bass, but coves in the Rolling Hills and Curtis Creek areas are traditional hot- spots for crappie.
Wipers were introduced into the lake in 1989. This species has populated exceptionally well with some being recorded bigger than 20LBS. Topwater plugs in spring and early summer is the most exciting way to catch them. These aggressive fish can be caught throughout the season.
White bass and catfish are plentiful in a variety of locations, and smallmouth bass frequent the face of the dam, as well as rocky points in the lower half of the lake. Milford is known for great smallmouth fishing and it holds the current state record of 6.88LBS.
The lake is also great for recreational boating and water sports. There are 12 boat launches located around the lake, as well as two marinas that offer boat slips, groceries, boat dump stations and gasoline. The large half-moon shaped sandy beach just to the north end of Farnum Creek is one of the most popular spots for the family boater or if you just want to catch some rays!
