• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Homer Lake, 2.8 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Greyling Lake before loading the car.
