• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. Eagle Lake Wildlife Management Area takes in this water; protected-area rules will apply. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Jack Lake at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice.
