• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. You can launch from a ramp around half a mile away. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Sparkling Lake at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Little Rock Lake before loading the car.
