• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Y P Reservoir Number 33 at 3 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
