A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Cooks Pond is 0.7 miles off. For Dicks Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
