• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Upper Wildwood Lake at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. For Leona Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
