Reported across Washington County: bluegill, green sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish, orangespotted sunfish and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Richard Kane Reservoir light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Oknoname 13906 Reservoir is 5.2 miles off. Confirm before you fish Richard Kane Reservoir.
