• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Facilities run to toilets half a mile from the water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Spot 3 is 8 miles off.
