• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. There is a campsite 70 yards from the water. A picnic spot sits half a mile from the bank. A toilet block sits half a mile away. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lily Lake, 0.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Twin Lake.
