• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping flags this water as intermittent: it can be dry for part of the year, so check before travelling. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Mitre Lake, 5.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
