• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. One rod, a handful of hooks and floats, and a few small lures are enough for this water. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Burks Creek at 15 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Whitehead Reservoir is worth confirming on the day.
