• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 82°F and January near 37°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully.
