• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Deadwood Lake, 1.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Beiningen Lake.
