• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The nearest car park is half a mile from the water. The water borders Kennedy Point, so reserve rules are likely to apply. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Sort the permit out before you load the car. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else.
