Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, largemouth bass and spotted bass. It reflects what has been logged, which depends on who was looking. The shape of Looney Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. 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. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Game Farm Pond sits 2.1 miles off and takes the overflow. The position on Looney Lake is worth confirming on the day.
