• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Moody Pond at 1.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Givens Pond if anything is unclear.
