  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Open biodiversity records for Cleveland County list green sunfish, bluegill and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The near bank of this water is often the one people ignore.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Oknoname 02707 Reservoir, 0.6 miles away.
