• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The nearest car park is half a mile from the water. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Kingsmill Pond at 1.2 miles is the sensible second choice.
