• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. You can camp about 150 m away, going by the mapping. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, West Dolly Lake at 1.5 km is the nearest alternative.
