• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Jefferson Sportsmens Lake Number One, 1.1 miles away. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
