  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Loaine Lake, 0.9 miles out. Treat access at Wet Lake as something to verify.
