• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Wolf Pond sits 1.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Springhill Ponds locally before you travel.
