• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Howell Lake, 3.1 miles out. For Georges Prairie Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
