• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Freve Lake is 1.2 km off. Check the position on Moseley Lake before loading the car.
