• Where to Fish on Allendale Mill Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. County-wide records name bluegill, common carp, pumpkinseed and black crappie. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Allendale Mill Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 72°F and January near 27°F. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Allendale Mill Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Manton Pond at 1.2 miles is the sensible second choice.
