• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Recorded parking is 0.9 miles off, far enough to travel light. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Three and Twenty Creek Watershed One Reservoir is 2.7 miles off.
