Mud Millpond Fishing in Kent County, Delaware

• Overview

  Mud Millpond lies in Kent County, Delaware. Tidal water begins 18 miles from here. Around 40 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. Head to Greensboro, 7.6 miles away, for anything you forgot. Baltimore sits 49 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Mud Millpond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Open biodiversity records for Kent County list white perch, American eel, common carp and bluegill. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The near bank of Mud Millpond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 76°F in July and bottoms out near 33°F in January. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan any trip to Mud Millpond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Lake Bonnie is 3.9 miles distant. None of that is settled for Mud Millpond in what we hold.
