  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank.
