A Practical Costley Millpond Game Plan

For Costley Millpond, I would spend the opening part of the trip around one easy-to-read part of the lake, avoid constant relocation, and make only the changes the first few bites justify after I find a repeatable bite in the first setup. Once I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch, I would keep working one manageable part of the lake on Costley Millpond before deciding whether to stay, move, or change depth. The moment I see a pattern develop in the first area, I would remember the setup I used around one nearby starting zone and make that the first test on my next trip to Costley Millpond.
