• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping flags this water as intermittent: it can be dry for part of the year, so check before travelling. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Red Pine Lake, 2.4 miles out.
