Dicksons Millpond Fishing near Fitzgerald, Georgia

• Overview

  This water sits in Ben Hill County, Georgia. The surface lies 207 feet up. It covers about 18 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Ground here is low by Georgia standards. The nearest place of any size is Fitzgerald, 7.8 miles away. After that come Ocilla at 12 miles and Broxton at 16 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Dicksons Millpond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Dicksons Millpond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. The quiet end repays the extra walk.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 81°F in July and bottom out at 49°F in January. Fish feed through every month here. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Expect Dicksons Millpond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Dorminy Lake, 2.5 miles out. Nothing here settles the position at Dicksons Millpond for certain.
