Mill Pond Fishing Guide, Clark County, Washington

• Overview

  Look for Mill Pond in Clark County, Washington. The surface lies 220 feet up. Surface area runs to about 3 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Clark County. Supplies mean a trip to Camas, 1 mile off. It is 7.5 miles to Gresham, the nearest city. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Mill Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name bluegill, yellow perch, black crappie and brown bullhead. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Mill Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give August about 66°F and January about 39°F. The surface stays open the year round. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. That shapes the year on Mill Pond. A rising level after rain switches things on for a day or two.
