• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Kirkpatrick Lake at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. For Hunts Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
