Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Rock Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Twin Lakes for certain.
