• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Beltview Reservoir sits 2 miles off and takes the overflow. Where Turek Reservoir is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
