County-wide records name striped bass, alewife and tessellated darter. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Read Mill Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. This falls in or next to protected ground, so rules will be tighter than usual. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
