• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Funk Lake, 0.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Signs at Impassable Lake carry more weight than any list.
