• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. A toilet block sits half a mile away. Birdsboro Waters covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Scotts Run Lake, 2.2 miles out. Treat access at Birdsboro Reservoir as something to verify.
