• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. Someone has mapped a fishing spot half a mile off. There are toilets half a mile off. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Echo Lake at 1.7 miles is the sensible second choice. Where Millpond Number One is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
