• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. A camping area sits within half a mile of here. Toilets are half a mile away, which matters on a long session. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Taylor Lake is 7.5 miles off. Nothing on Little Antelope Creek should be assumed from this page alone.
