• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Tillie Lake is 1.4 km off. Treat access at Tillie Creek as something to verify.
