• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try The Pines West Lake, 0.2 miles away. Check the position at West Twin Lake before loading the car.
