• Where to Fish on Alderley Millpond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Survey and observation records for Dodge County include common carp, brown trout, bluegill and northern pike. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Alderley Millpond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 71°F; by January the average is down near 17°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early April. The open-water window runs from around early April to about early December in an average year. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. At Alderley Millpond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Malloy Lake at 4.1 miles is the nearest alternative.
