2. Ice Fishing:
Northern Pike: The millpond supports a dense population of northern pike. Anglers often use tip-ups baited with medium to large minnows over submerged structure to target these fish.
Panfish: Bluegill, crappie, and perch are common. For panfish, use small tungsten jigs tipped with waxworms or spikes.
Regulations: Panfish have a daily bag limit of 10, while northern pike have a daily limit of 5 with no minimum length limit.
3. Ice skating (once you see ice fishers on a lake it's a good indication that ice is thick enough)
