A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try North Glory Hole, 0.6 miles away. Ask locally about South Glory Hole if anything is unclear.
