• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Georgetown Upper Dam Number One Pond at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Georgetown Upper Dam Number Two Pond in what we hold.
