• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Archers Lakes at 4.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Roberts Lake locally before you travel.
