• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Parking within half a mile means no long carry with tackle. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Broad Brook Reservoir, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Broad Brook Millpond locally before you travel.
