Chew Millpond Fishing in Jenkins County, Georgia

• Overview

  Chew Millpond is listed under Jenkins County, Georgia. Height above sea level is 177 feet. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Georgia listings. Head to Millen, 8.5 miles away, for anything you forgot. After that come Twin City at 18 miles and Wadley at 18 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Chew Millpond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish, chain pickerel, redear sunfish and black crappie. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. At Chew Millpond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 81°F at the top of summer and 47°F at the bottom of winter. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Chew Millpond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lower Miller Lake, 3.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat Chew Millpond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
