Anyone new to this water should walk it once before setting up.

  Expect July to average close to 82°F, with January the cold end at about 36°F. Cold never closes this one. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Oknoname 08114 Reservoir at 4.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
