• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Upper Rollins Ranch Lake, 0.9 miles out. Ask locally about Lake Louella if anything is unclear.
