  July runs about 71°F on average, January about 28°F. The season stretches long at both ends here. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Thirty Acre Pond, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Hundred Acre Pond.
