• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Eastman Pond, 0.6 miles out. Nothing on Oak Ledge Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
