Fish Windbourne Mill Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 39°F to 78°F. Cold never closes this one. 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. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Windbourne Mill Pond. A rising level usually fishes better than a falling one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Darden Pond, 8.6 miles away. None of that is settled for Windbourne Mill Pond in what we hold.
