Anglers looking at Wayne County will find Wills Pond, a reservoir; I would give one sheltered section of bank a fair chance and resist moving until I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one straightforward section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the first area.

Wills Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Wills Pond, so I would leave those numbers open until a dependable agency source confirms the number and fish one promising section of bank until I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment.

Fishing This Water

A reliable fish list for Wills Pond is difficult to confirm, so I would carry one light rod with a jig, worm, and float, fish one easy-to-read shoreline stretch, and leave the target open until I get a useful answer from the first few casts. I would keep the tackle narrow on Wills Pond, fish one manageable shoreline stretch, and avoid changing everything until I get a useful answer from the nearby water.

A Practical Wills Pond Game Plan

My first plan for Wills Pond would be to fish one short section of water deliberately and make the simplest change first only after I get a useful answer from the opening stretch. When I get a useful clue from the first area, I would stay around one sheltered section of water on Wills Pond and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful clue from the first adjustment, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Wills Pond with one straightforward part of the lake already on the short list.
