• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake Dubarco, 3.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For Sugar Plum Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
