Mill Pond is a lake in Utah, near Tooele County.
Mill Pond in Tooele County is a lake in Utah and covers about 21.5 acres, reaches about 13.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 114.4 acre-feet.
Mill Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Mill Pond include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, and Largemouth Bass.
Start the black crappie search on Mill Pond by trying to fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops.
The first bluegill pass on Mill Pond should use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
One direct largemouth bass tactic on Mill Pond is to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
When channel catfish are the target on Mill Pond, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; make the next cast parallel to the edge.
Start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it; check a rocky edge, then write down the productive depth.
Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; begin where shallow cover meets depth, then use the old channel as a guide.
A medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle; test a shaded bank, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce; use a slow bait after the search lure, then save the heaviest tackle for deep cover.
