• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Meadow Lake at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Gull Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
