Spring Mill Pond Fishing in Livingston County, Michigan

• Overview

  Livingston County, Michigan, is where Spring Mill Pond sits. The bank is 866 feet above sea level. At roughly 8 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Our Livingston County list holds plenty of bigger water. Whitmore Lake sits 3.6 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Brighton is 4 miles and South Lyon 4.2 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Spring Mill Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Livingston County records list bluegill, largemouth bass, black crappie, pink salmon and yellow perch among the fish reported. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Spring Mill Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 71°F; by January the average is down near 22°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. After late March the shallows warm and the fish move up. The open-water window runs from around late March to about mid December in an average year. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That shapes the year on Spring Mill Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. There is a launch about half a mile from the bank. Parking is mapped about 170 yards from the bank. Public data records a pier about half a mile out. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. Public toilets are recorded roughly 150 yards off. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Mallard Lake at 0.8 miles is the sensible second choice.
