• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Petch Lake at 1 km is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Reynar Lake.
