• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Marron Lake, 4.1 km out. Treat Mosher Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
