• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Myers Lake at 0.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Little Myers Lake before loading the car.
