• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Soil Conservation Service Site 9a Reservoir at 2.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
