• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The water borders Westminster State Forest, so reserve rules are likely to apply. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Minott Pond is 1.1 miles distant. Nothing on Partridge Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
