Blairs Pond is the uppermost water in Milford's chain of millponds. It stands out for bank fishing: you can reach more shoreline here than at many Delaware ponds. That makes it a good choice when you'd rather walk with a rod than bring a trailer.
Lake facts
- Lake size: About 31 acres
- Fish to target: Largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie and chain pickerel
- Depth: Mapped maximum about 7 feet
Where to fish
The shore between the dike and the two water-control outlets is worth trying for sunfish. Use a small hook and worm or a tiny jig. For bass, work the outside of hydrilla and shoreline cover with a weedless plastic. Upstream areas can become thick with vegetation by late summer, so an open casting lane is worth finding.
Getting on the water
The boat ramp has parking for roughly ten trailers. Bank anglers can fish near the ramp and along the dam, with additional access beside the Milford Millponds Nature Preserve and Blairs Pond Trail. Use those established areas instead of crossing private shoreline.
A few things to know
Picnic tables near the ramp make it easy to break up a longer visit. With a mapped maximum depth around seven feet, this is shallow-water fishing throughout. A canoe or kayak suits its size, and public-pond boating is at no-wake speed.
