• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Whites Lake, 1 mile away, makes the obvious fallback.
