• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. A launch point is recorded some half a mile off. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. A phone call first saves an afternoon. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Bell Pond, 1.1 miles out. Confirm access to Spectacle Ponds locally before you travel.
