• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Great Neck Lake sits 1.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Rules at Sandee Lake are worth checking on the day.
