• Tackle & Baits

Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Halls Lake sits 2.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position on Pine River Flowage before loading the car.
