A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Mill Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Price County, recorded fish include yellow perch, walleye and northern pike. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Mill Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 66°F; the cold one sits at 10°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid usually goes in mid April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about late November in an average year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Mill Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Cooley Lake, 0.6 miles away. Check the current arrangement for Mill Pond.
