• Where to Fish on Spring Lake

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Sinnott Lake is 2.2 km distant.
