• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is a slipway on the shore, 0.9 miles from the water we list. The closest car park is 0.9 miles away, so pack accordingly. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Pinoak Lake, 3.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Browns Creek Lake.
