• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. This sits inside Lyman Town Forest, so read the reserve notices first. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Ledge Pond at 1.7 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Davis Pond is worth confirming on the day.
