• Where to Fish on Bah Lakes

Records held for Grant County cover common carp, largemouth bass, walleye and bluegill. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Bah Lakes repays a walk before the first cast.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Mahla Lake is 1.1 miles distant. Where Bah Lakes is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
