• Where to Fish on Lake Palm

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. If the gate is shut, Lake Geneva at 0.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Lake Palm if anything is unclear.
