The season on Brady Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Stem Lake, 1.4 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Brady Lake if anything is unclear.
