  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Wrench Lake is 4.8 km distant.
