It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Millwood Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Public wildlife records from this area list bluegill, redbreast sunfish, blackbanded darter and snail bullhead. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. At Millwood Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 80°F and January reads 44°F. There is no frozen season to plan round. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That is the shape of the year on Millwood Lake.

• Tackle & Baits
