• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. The water borders Neipsic Bog Reserve, so reserve rules are likely to apply. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Angus Park Pond is 1.1 miles distant.
