• Tackle & Baits

Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Waneta Lake is 0.9 miles off. Confirm before you fish Edgewood Lakes.
