Milk Pond in Norfolk County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Norfolk County in Massachusetts is where Milk Pond sits. It sits 22 miles in from the sea. About 4 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Norfolk County list. Medway is the closest town at 1.7 miles. Further out sit Holliston (3.1 miles) and Millis (3.5 miles). A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Milk Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Norfolk County include bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, yellow perch and redfin pickerel. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Milk Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 25°F to 71°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. The season on Milk Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. The water sits inside or beside a nature reserve, so expect extra rules. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Park Pond, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Milk Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
