• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Iron County Forest covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lake One at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Obadash Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
