  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Taylor Number 5 Reservoir, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
