• Where to Fish on Anderson Millpond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover savannah darter, blackbanded darter, eastern blackbanded darter, speckled madtom and koi. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. The shape of Anderson Millpond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Williamson Lake at 1.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing here settles the position at Anderson Millpond for certain.
