Reported across Harrison County: bluegill, green sunfish, fantail darter and greenside darter. The county list is broader than any single water. Take Pulay Pond a stretch at a time.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Brushy Fork Reservoir Number Seven at 1.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position at Pulay Pond before loading the car.
