• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. A toilet block sits half a mile away. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Dove Lake sits 1 mile off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Soseby Lake in what we hold.
