County-wide records name largemouth bass, yellow perch and bluegill. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Little Sand Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Wahneshin Lake at 1.3 miles is the sensible second choice.
