• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is a launch about half a mile from the bank. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Prince Pond, 0.6 miles out.
