• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Cedar Grove Lake, 1.2 miles away. Ask locally about Redding Lake if anything is unclear.
