• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Spinner Lake, 2.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Little Tungsten Lake.
