A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Myers Lake at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about McKane Lake if anything is unclear.
