• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. 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. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Tower Hill Pond, 1.5 miles away. Nothing on Kinnicum Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
