• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Little Long Lake at 0.7 km is the sensible second choice. For Reynolds Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
