• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Kalmia Lake, 2.9 km out. Confirm before you fish Wolf Lake.
