• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Inner Big Pond, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Narrows Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
