  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Murphys First Pond, 0.7 km away. Nothing here settles the position at Murphys Second Pond for certain.
