• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Wickware Lake, 1.4 km away. The position on Long Mallory Lake is worth confirming on the day.
