• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Lake Woussicket at 1.4 miles is the nearest alternative. What applies at Walls Lakes may have changed since it was mapped.
