On Middle Huston Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, South Huston Lake at 0.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Middle Huston Lake as something to verify.
