Records held for King William County cover tessellated darter, striped bass and white perch. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Old Town Farm Pond, 2 miles away.
