• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Welsh Pond, 0.9 miles out. Nothing on Singletary Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
