• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Blue Grouse Lake, 2.1 km away. Check the current arrangement for Regan Lake.
