On Rountree North Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Rountree South Pond, 1 mile away. For Rountree North Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
