This lakeside fishing lodge in the mountains is set in a beautiful location, its main features being waterside plants, and a jetty provided for bass-fishing boats. The difficulty level is comparatively low.

Soft lures work best here. Look for fish under the jetty. Watch the area under the cliff in bad weather. Target Fish: Smallmouth & Redeye. Use a Spinner in the shallows, and a Soft Lure in the deep water under the jetty! Because the water is deep overall, the fishing on this lake is subtly affected by changes in light and temperature. When the air temperature is too high, or conversely, when it falls too low, bass tend to gather in the shallows, and since this lake has few shallow areas, there are only a few places where the fish are likely to be. Start off by throwing a few lures to find the places where the water is shallow. Another helpful factor is that the boat is never very far away from the shore, so you can reel in quickly, and that means you can cast more.

Easily swallowed by bass, but difficult to handle.

Easy to handle and averagely effective, but has no outstanding capacities.

Stands up well to tough conditions and sinks fast, but does not perform well in normal conditions.

This lure floats when you stop reeling, mimicking small fish to attract bass.

Use this lure for bass in shallow ranges; shake it with Directional buttons while reeling to heighten its appeal.

Ball-bearings inside this lure rattle while being reeled, attracting bass; reeling jerkily makes it more effective.

This lure stays in place when you stop reeling, creating a space for bass to approach and swallow it.

This lure floats on the surface and is highly effective in fine weather and ideal temperatures, though it requires skill to use.

More likely to be swallowed by a bass than other lures, but its soft nature makes reeling speed difficult to control accurately.

Designed for rainbow-trout, this lure also works for bass and is suitable for finding them due to its fast diving speed.
