Fish this water where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Byars Lake at 0.8 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
