• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Hooch Lake at 2.4 km is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Blackfox Lake as something to verify.
