Brittles Millpond, Virginia: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Sussex County, Virginia, this is Brittles Millpond. The setting is pine and hardwood. Roughly 40 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. It is among the larger waters listed here for Sussex County. The closest town, Waverly, is 6.5 miles away. Courtland follows at 18 miles, then Windsor at 19 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Brittles Millpond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. County-wide records name bluegill, Roanoke darter, redfin pickerel, warmouth and tessellated darter. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The shape of Brittles Millpond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 78°F for July and 38°F for January. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Brittles Millpond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Parker Number Three Dam, 1.2 miles out. Nothing on Brittles Millpond should be assumed from this page alone.
