Bring some money, I don't know what the daily pass cost but a yearly pass is $120.00 for both truck and boat. Going north from W is nothing but stumps and trees so be careful. The first cove going south on the west side is pretty good and so is the second one on the east side.

Daily for boat and truck is 15 or 20 bucks

Hello Wetaline and welcome to the CDC site, just about anywhere in the W bridge area will be good fishing. Watch out for the boating hazards if you go north. Don't forget to post up a report and we always like pics.......

It is $15 for boat and vehicle, and try the W bridge up north, I know that doesnt get fished as much as W bridge near boat ramp. Its a sure bet you will catch big crappie, just be careful for all the hidden stumps and standing timber, but you will not be dissapointed. Throw a Slider jig in a 1/16 and 1/8 ounce double rig tight line and cast is shade along bridge and make sure he have different colors in them Sliders. Good Luck!!!

Is there a channel to get to that second W bridge or is it all flooded timber?

Find a lake map which you can get when you pay the guy/gal when entering the boat ramp, its hard to explain but there is hidden stumps and standing when trying to get there but when you do its a hidden jewel, no one hardly goes there just becauseits hard to get to if youre not careful
