• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Green Pond is 5.7 miles distant.
