• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. May Lake, 1.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Hannah Lake carry more weight than any list.
