• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Gold Mine Lakes at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
