Falling Millpond

Falling Millpond is a reservoir in Northumberland County, and on a first trip I would start around one short section of bank and stay there until I see a pattern develop in the first area. I would keep the opening plan simple around one nearby shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I see enough in the first few casts.

Falling Millpond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Falling Millpond, so I would not guess at them until a current management document publishes a figure and would work one manageable shoreline stretch until I learn something from the first few casts.

Fish Species and Best Baits

For anglers, the useful species information for Falling Millpond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would start with one first-choice species around one manageable section of water and let it run until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour. Bass anglers on Falling Millpond can start with a shallow crankbait or spinnerbait around one easy-to-read section of water, then switch to a worm or jig when I get a useful answer from the first hour.

A Practical Falling Millpond Game Plan

I would approach Falling Millpond by choosing one promising part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I see enough in the opening stretch. If I learn something from the opening stretch, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward part of the lake properly on Falling Millpond. If I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered part of the lake and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Falling Millpond.
