• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Lake Hassel, 0.9 miles away. Treat access at Frovold Lake as something to verify.
