• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The water sits inside or beside a mapped nature reserve, so expect additional rules. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Wamin Lake sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow.
