• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Selman 29 Reservoir is 2.5 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
