• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Licking Hole Farm Pond at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Fairfield Pond as something to verify.
