• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Camp Lake at 2.8 km is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Camp Creek.
