June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Little Pony Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Big Pony Lake, 0.9 km out. For Little Pony Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
