• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. 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. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try First Grimm Lake, 1.2 km away. Check the position on Third Grimm Lake before loading the car.
