• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Borg Lake, 1.6 miles out. Signs at Lake Fedge carry more weight than any list.
