• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Lake Lincoln, 8.6 miles out. For Hendrickson Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
