• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Duck Pond at 1.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Dwars Kill.
