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. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Stanley Lake 007 sits 0.3 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
