• Where to Fish on Jordan Millpond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include blackbanded darter, bluegill, dollar sunfish and redbreast sunfish. Records come from public data, not from a stocking programme. Work Jordan Millpond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Mathis Pond, 5.5 miles away. Nothing on Jordan Millpond should be assumed from this page alone.
