  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lake York at 2.9 miles is the sensible second choice. For Adams Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
