  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Pop Lake is 1.1 miles distant. For Cached Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
