• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Sevier River at 4.7 miles is the nearest alternative.
