• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lucy Lake at 5.4 km is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Wawongons Lake.
