• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Robin Hood Lake sits 0.9 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat access at The Lake in the Ledges as something to verify.
