A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Heyburn Lake is 3.5 miles distant. Check the position on Kellyville Lake before loading the car.
