• Where to Fish on Burgamy Millpond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. On Burgamy Millpond that means starting tight and working out. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this.
