• Where to Fish on Boulwares Millpond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Open biodiversity records for Caroline County list tessellated darter, bluegill, shield darter, redbreast sunfish and chain pickerel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Boulwares Millpond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 77°F for July and 35°F for January. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Anyone fishing Boulwares Millpond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Old Grays Pond, 2.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback.
