• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Granskog Lake at 1.8 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat access at Indian Town Lake as something to verify.
