• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Hodchodkee Pond at 5.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at Singer Pond are worth checking on the day.
