• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lake Weiss at 4.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Signs at Lebanon Reservoir carry more weight than any list.
