  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Records held for Williams County cover johnny darter, blackside darter, greenside darter, golden redhorse and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Lake C the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Jerrys Pond sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Where Lake C is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
