Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include bluegill, redbreast sunfish and blackbanded darter. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. Anyone new to W C Davis Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Recorded parking is 0.9 miles off, far enough to travel light. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Weems Lake is 0.9 miles distant. For W C Davis Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
