• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Harmond Pond at 2.7 miles is the sensible second choice. For Shuller Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
