• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Chicadee Lake at 6.8 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Graham Lake.
