• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. A pier 170 yards from here gives a platform over deeper water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Mud Lake, 0.4 miles out.
