• Where to Fish on Streaters Mill Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Cass County records list bluegill, largemouth bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of Streaters Mill Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Bogart Lake is 0.7 miles distant. Treat Streaters Mill Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
