• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Clear Lake at 0.8 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Jutila Lake.
