• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 43°F in January and 79°F in July. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Sinback Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Floyds Lake, 1.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback.
