• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Barrett Reservoir, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at this water carry more weight than any list.
