Debbie and I loaded up our gear and headed over to Atkinson's Mill Pond this morning. It's located just east of Clayton on hwy 42, and is open to the public 7 days/week. They have a crude ramp, but it's free and easy to get to. This is one of the last remaining water powered grain mills in NC, built in 1757, when NC was just a colony! The mill pond is fed from Cattail Creek and Little River, and has a variety of fish. You can travel up stream for miles. The weather was great...temps in low 80's, light breeze, and Carolina blue skies. Here's a few pics and a little vid.
