• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Dream Lake is 0.9 miles distant. What applies at Ferrelltown Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
