• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 71°F and January at 25°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Ohnoname 10 Reservoir is 1.9 miles distant. Check the position at Clays Park Lake before loading the car.
