• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Chipmunk Reservoir at 0.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Calumet Reservoir should be assumed from this page alone.
