• Where to Fish on Rush Pond

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems.
