Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. At No Name Reservoir the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Tackle & Baits

Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Close seasons apply to some species and not others.
