For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lake Plaza, 2.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Delta Lake.
