Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Agrirama Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. A toilet block sits half a mile away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Baldwin Lake sits 1.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Agrirama Lake.
