The Stony Brook Mill Pond is fed by clear woodland streams and by the pure delight of the members of the Mill Pond Fishing Club. Members enjoy the social aspect, spending a few hours by the pond before sharing a meal in Stony Brook Village.

What if you’d like to join them, but don’t know how to fish? The Club will be happy to teach you.  There’s always something to learn, even for those who’ve been fishing for years.

At the Mill Pond, strict catch-and-release policies are upheld as Club members prioritize environmental conservation. The Pond is regularly stocked with trout, while carp thrive alongside a notable resurgence of largemouth bass. Beyond fishing, members delight in observing diverse wildlife, including deer, turtles, and various aquatic birds, all calling the Pond home.

Membership costs $40 a year. The Club runs several fishing contests each year, awarding trophies to the winners. It’s an easygoing competition among friends.
