Mills Lake is a reservoir in Georgia, near Fayette County.
This Fayette County water is recorded as Mills Lake, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one short part of the lake until I get a useful answer from the nearby water. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one sheltered part of the lake until I get a useful answer from the first hour than make several random moves.
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Mills Lake, so I would keep those values open until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure while I work one straightforward starting zone until I get a useful clue from the first setup.
A dependable species list for Mills Lake is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with a light spinning setup with a soft plastic and live-bait option around one promising starting zone, staying flexible until I get a useful clue from the opening stretch. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one easy-to-read area near the launch on Mills Lake and wait until I see enough in the first area before changing direction.
A practical first day on Mills Lake starts with one manageable area near the launch and one target species; from there I would change one part of the plan before the rest after I see enough in the first adjustment. If I get a clear read from the first few casts, I would keep working one nearby piece of water on Mills Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I get a clear read from the first setup, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one short piece of water so the next trip to Mills Lake starts with a real plan.
