  The access position is unclear from public sources. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Spavinaw Lake is 9.5 miles off. Confirm access to Lake Eucha locally before you travel.
