At Boulder Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Sunset Lake at 2.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Boulder Lake.
