• Tackle & Baits

For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Stob Lake, 0.9 miles out. Nothing on Steel Trap Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
