• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. A camping area sits within 120 yards of here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Should this one be busy, Center Pond is 1.1 miles off.
