• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Plainview Lake at 1.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Littell Number One Lake before loading the car.
