• Where to Fish on Marshall Millpond 72

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Open biodiversity records for Dane County list brown trout, common carp, bluegill, rainbow trout and largemouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of this water rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 71°F in July and bottom out at 17°F in January. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early April and starts locking again about early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Expect this water to follow that timing.

Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Mud Lake, 5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. The position on this water is worth confirming on the day.
