• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Demeritt Pond, 0.4 miles away. Where Kenison Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
