• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Mount Olive Lake at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice.
