Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It holds true on this water more years than not. Late evening often out-fishes the whole afternoon.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Should this one be busy, Stillwater Creek Site 8 Reservoir is 0.9 miles off. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
