• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Rainbow Lake is 0.5 km distant. Ask locally about Little Silver Lake if anything is unclear.
