• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Parking is not close: 1.4 km from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Plebon Lake at 1.3 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Daley Lake before loading the car.
