Starrs Millpond Fishing near Senoia, Georgia

• Overview

  Starrs Millpond stands in Fayette County, Georgia. The surface lies 774 feet up. It runs to roughly 27 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Size puts it in the front rank of our Fayette County list. Head to Senoia, 3.4 miles away, for anything you forgot. Beyond it, Shannon at 5.6 miles and Peachtree City at 6.9 miles. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Starrs Millpond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists eastern blackbanded darter, spotted sunfish, swamp darter, bluegill and apalachicola blacktail shiner. Reported species tell you what lives around here, nothing more. On Starrs Millpond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 79°F, while January sits near 43°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Plan around that when you fish Starrs Millpond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Somewhere to sit and eat is half a mile out. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Reeds Lakes at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at Starrs Millpond are worth checking on the day.
