Fishing at the Burlington Flats Fish & Game Club We normally have two areas where members can fish, 24 hours a day/365 days a year (with some exceptions). These are the pond behind our clubhouse and our club property at Mill Road. Any fishing must be done in compliance with state and local laws of course (members fishing need to have the appropriate state licenses/permits and observe state restrictions/quotas). We also must ask that you take out anything you bring in with you as well as any trash you create while on-site. You'll find information specific to each of our two fishing areas below. Main Fishing Pond Access to the fishing pond is through the range access road. This is the small road just past the club entrance (if you are on the road in front of the club entrance the range access road will be the next road to your left (look for the signs). Roughly halfway down this road is a checkpoint where you should stop. If the sign says "RANGE IS IN USE" and/or the chain is across the road, this means someone is actively shooting on the range. You must wait until shooting is complete and the shooters have departed the range, or they have physically cleared and signaled you to enter. If the chain is down and the sign says "RANGE NOT IN USE", then it should be safe to enter. Please proceed cautiously down to the pond, but be observant in case someone is shooting and forgot to display the sign. Be sure to park your vehicle somewhere it can be seen from both the checkpoint and from the range's firing lines. We know it means a longer walk, but this is critical for your safety. Please do not park or drive on our actual dam. While fishing, remain observant in case someone enters the range without being aware of your presence. Mill Road Property
