Blakemore Millpond

Blakemore Millpond sits in Lancaster County and is classified as a reservoir; I would pick one sheltered piece of water as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful clue from the first setup. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one short piece of water until I get a clear read from the first setup, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.

Blakemore Millpond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Blakemore Millpond does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until an official reservoir report documents the value before trusting a number and stay around one nearby section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the first area.

Fish Species and Best Baits

Known fish for Blakemore Millpond include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around the species I most want at one manageable section of bank and avoid switching until I get a useful clue from the first area. If bass are present in Blakemore Millpond, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch; I would change it only when I get a clear read from the first few casts.

A Practical Blakemore Millpond Game Plan

If I were seeing Blakemore Millpond for the first time, I would work one promising shoreline stretch with only a few dependable baits and change depth before changing every bait after I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. If I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would stay around one straightforward shoreline stretch on Blakemore Millpond and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful clue from the first hour, I would leave Blakemore Millpond knowing that one straightforward section of water deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
