• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Long sits 0.3 km off and takes the overflow.
