• Where to Fish on Pittsford Millpond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Public occurrence data for Hillsdale County names bluegill, largemouth bass and yellow perch. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Pittsford Millpond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 71°F and January about 22°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid usually goes in late March, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Open water usually runs from late March until about mid December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That is the shape of the year on Pittsford Millpond.
