Valley Water Mill Pond is one of the Greene County listings for Missouri. The land about it is open valley. About 7 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Greene County are larger. Start from Springfield, 4.4 miles down the road. It is 4.3 miles to Springfield, the nearest city. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Reported across Greene County: rainbow darter, bluegill, longear sunfish, slender madtom and yoke darter. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Valley Water Mill Pond fishes better once you know its edges.
The warm month here averages 77°F; the cold one sits at 31°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Time your trip to Valley Water Mill Pond by conditions rather than dates.
Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Parking is close: a car park sits 110 yards from the bank. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Fellows Lake sits 4 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Valley Water Mill Pond locally before you travel.
