• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Hodgson Lake at 8.8 km is the sensible second choice. For Arnold Robinson Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
