• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Hayes and Collins Lake, 3 miles out.
