Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Gilman Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Wrights Millpond should be assumed from this page alone.
