• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Mountjoy Lake, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Telluride Lake for certain.
