Mill Brook Pond in Pike County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Mill Brook Pond in Pike County, Pennsylvania. The country round it is mixed forest from end to end. At 11 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Our Pike County list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Wallenpaupack Lake Estates, 4.3 miles down the road. Further out sit Hawley (7.5 miles) and The Hideout (8.9 miles). This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Mill Brook Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Pike County records list yellow perch, brown trout, bluegill and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Anyone new to Mill Brook Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 67°F and January reads 22°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early April. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about late December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Expect Mill Brook Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Egypt Meadow Lake at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. For Mill Brook Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
