• Where to Fish on Ushers Millpond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include speckled madtom, bluegill and snail bullhead. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. Treat Ushers Millpond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Forts Pond is 0.7 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at Ushers Millpond for certain.
