  We hold no depth figure for this one. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Public occurrence data for Providence County names bluegill, common carp, pumpkinseed, black crappie and chain pickerel. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The near bank of Lapham Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
