• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. There is a mapped slipway roughly half a mile away. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. A toilet block sits half a mile away. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lake Palmer at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Lake Chase locally before you travel.
