A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for St. Lawrence include brook trout and bull-rout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Southern Bloomy Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

On Southern Bloomy Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Wall Pond, 2.1 km away. Nothing here settles the position at Southern Bloomy Pond for certain.
