• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Martell Lake at 2.8 km is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Stones Lake before loading the car.
