• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Upper Kimball Pond, 0.6 miles out. For Hunt Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
