• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Garys Steady sits 4.2 km off and takes the overflow. Treat Gull Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
