• Where to Fish on Segars Millpond

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Records collected within a few miles name sawcheek darter, dollar sunfish and redbreast sunfish. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. On Segars Millpond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 80°F at the top of summer and 43°F at the bottom of winter. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Segars Millpond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Kington Lake is 2.8 miles off. The position on Segars Millpond is worth confirming on the day.
