• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Somewhere to sit and eat is 1.1 km out. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Rosina Lake sits 1.1 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Raspberry Lake for certain.
