  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Lake Bend is 2.9 miles off. Where Follet Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
