Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Warm Spring Creek the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lizard Lake is 4 miles distant. For Warm Spring Creek in particular, ask before you travel.
