• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Hadden Reservoir at 5.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Job Corps Pond as something to verify.
