• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Olive Lake, 1.9 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For this water in particular, ask before you travel.
