• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Harris Center Conservation Land takes in this water; protected-area rules will apply. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Shadrach Pond at 1.5 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Spoonwood Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
