• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Dutton Pond at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position at Spring Brook Pond before loading the car.
