• Where to Fish on Spot 2

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Norfolk County include bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 71°F and January reads 26°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. This water runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Franklin Reservoirs, 0.2 miles out.
