Swainsboro is 12 miles and Wrightsville 18 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Keas Old Millpond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, dollar sunfish and bluespotted sunfish. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Take Keas Old Millpond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 47°F to 81°F. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It sets the rhythm of the year at Keas Old Millpond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Brazwell Pond at 2.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position at Keas Old Millpond before loading the car.
