• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Western Hill Pond is 1.9 km off. Nothing here settles the position at Nedys Hole Pond for certain.
