• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Dolvin Lake, 2.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Edmonds Lake as something to verify.
