Preston Millpond is a reservoir in Virginia, near Bedford County.
Preston Millpond is one of the named reservoir waters in Bedford County, so I would begin around one manageable section of bank and avoid a long move until I find a repeatable bite in the first area. I would rather understand one section well than skim five, so I would stay around one easy-to-read shoreline stretch until I get a useful answer from the first few casts.
Published physical measurements are limited for Preston Millpond, so I would avoid borrowing numbers from another lake until an official reservoir report documents the value and fish one promising shoreline stretch until I see enough in the first few casts.
Fish recorded for Preston Millpond include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would make the species I most want the opening focus around one straightforward shoreline stretch and stay with it until I learn something from the first few casts.
