  Federal mapping classes it as a reservoir, so the level is managed rather than natural. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish and blackbanded darter. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. Read Lane Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Campground Lake at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position at Lane Pond before loading the car.
