We moved to Milton recently. I've fished the Mill Pond a couple of times, but am looking for places to go that are within an half hour(ish) drive that would be worth going to. I don't fly fish, just spinning, and I don't have a boat.

thanks

Great to meet another milton(nee?) haha..
Mill pond is fantastic for small panfish and the occasional walleye.
However, for better fishing within half an hour, i'd suggest Kelso Lake or even Mountsberg Conservation.
Check it out!

I'm a milton guy too,
Kelso is alright for panfish, Mountsberg has alot of small pike and bass, but is very weedy and shallow.
try floating a worm down the east wing of 16 mile creek.
In the last week I've pulled out a 3 1/2 pound yellow bullhead, a few smallmouths(biggest one was 4 pounds) and a few 5-6 pound carp.
find a nice deep hole or a large deep pool somewhere and you'll have some luck, go between 7-9pm,
The bugs get annoying but the fishing is better than expected.

What would be considered the "east wing" of 16 mile creek.

I'm new to fishing, just took up the sport this year and am looking for more places to fish in and around Burlington.

Lions Valley is still closed, have to go to a couple other places park and walk down, and that puts use south of Lions Valley, I live on the west side of 16 mile. I am def down for walking 16 mile and seeing what happens if you want to some day, or someone else wants to as well...Can come to my place and than I can take us were to park so we dont have such a huge walk, the walk back up all the trails from the creek is KILLER sometimes though, so gettin in a car right after that is good compared to walking another 5-10 mins haha. I'm from the 16 mil area, and I'm a lil unsure what is meant by the east wing of 16 mile...would love to find this place and try it out.

thanks porter 86, i shall call you sometime in late august early sept and we shall give it a try.
Have a good season.

[Porter86]

Awesome, sounds like a plan!! Thanks, you too!!

[B-asshole]

I live beside 16 mile creek, on lower base line west of 6th line. The closed bridge is my favorite spot. any deep pools north or south of the bridge are good. or just throw a worm and bobber out from the bridge at dusk and let them come to you.

[B-asshole]

sorry for not giving better info in my earlier post.

[B-asshole]

This 3+ pound bullhead was caught off the bridge.

Okay, I have a pretty good feeling of where your talking, are you talking the old bridge or the new bridge that hasnt been put into use yet? or has it been put into use now and now you are talking the old bridge? I know lower base stops at i forget what street than you go north again and continue west to bronte. Bo worries, thats not that far from me, I do always remember seeing cars pulled down by the banks if thats were I'm thinking.

And your not that far from me, I'm in the Westoak Trails area of Glen Abby.

Some more miltonians eh!
for bigger fish but close to milton theres many places you could go!
First off theres kelso with bass panfish and little trout
mountsberg with lots of bass and pike
fairy lake in acton, lots of bass, pike, and panfish, carp
Burns (just past mounstberg)
and you can always hit up google maps and look up any local milton pond! I have caught pike and many bass in some of the local ponds

I've been down here twice over the past 3 days. Nothing of any size but lot's of action. 3 bullheads, upwards of 10 small smallies, 5 Big rockbass, and a turtle It's nice to see all the smallies as you know there are breading size ones somewhere in there. Just need to find them!
