• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Smith Pond at 2.2 miles is the sensible second choice.
