You only need a SIP to fish from the public access area at Forgans Cove Paddle only craft ( No leccys) To access the PRFMA area from the end of Adsetts Road you need a boating permit issued by the PRFMA For more info have a look at the PRFMA website http://prfma.com.au even if you do not wish to get a boating access permit read the articles section for some good info on how to tactics for NPD.. There is an active group on facebook called pine rivers lakes fishing that covers both North Pine dam and Lake Sampsonvale where you can also glean the latest info. Cheers Ray
