• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Borum Lake at 1.3 miles is the nearest alternative.
