  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lawton Lake sits 1.7 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Table Rock Reservoir.
