  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. Libby Cedar Reserve runs up to the bank here, which usually means extra restrictions. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any.
