• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Nifty Lake is 3.6 km off. Nothing on Ramsay Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
