  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Grey Eagle Wildlife Management Area takes in this water; protected-area rules will apply. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Schafer Lake, 0.7 miles away.
