Mill Pond, Sayville
Fishing Information
Mill Pond is a small shallow pond located in Sayville just north of Montauk Highway and immediately east of Mill Pond Road. DEC hatchery trout stocked in the spring and fall provide a seasonal fishing opportunity.
The pond also contains largemouth bass and sunfish year round, but these populations seldom produce high quality fishing. By late spring, the growth of aquatic plants in Mill Pond render fishing difficult and necessitates the use of weedless lures (* 174 KB pdf file)
