• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
