• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
