• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. A slipway is marked about half a mile from here. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. The water borders Bell Property, so expect the reserve rules to apply. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Uptons Pond at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice.
