Fishing Mill Pond in Harrison County, Texas

• Overview

  Look for Mill Pond in the Harrison County part of Texas. It lies 361 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 3 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Most waters listed here for Harrison County are larger. Hallsville lies 4.3 miles from the water. Shreveport is the closest city, 46 miles away. Rules here are straightforward: one county, one set of rules.

• Where to Fish on Mill Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluntnose darter, redspotted sunfish and cypress darter. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. Mill Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 44°F in January and 82°F in July. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. The season on Mill Pond follows the weather closely. Water colour tells you more than the air temperature does.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Highway Lake A, 5.7 miles away. Treat Mill Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
