• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Thor Lake, 1.3 km out. None of that is settled for Harrison Lake in what we hold.
