Boat LaunchNot a concrete ramp, but large fiberglass boats can be launched from ramp area.
The lake is 21 acres with a great rock ramp capable of launching full size bass boats. The ranch boasts all weather roads from the entrance to the lake and to both cabins. The lake has depths to 23 feet and loaded with small bass. Currently, 95% of the bass are 15” and smaller. The largest bass electrofishing was 3.93 lbs. The lake is need of some great harvest and is a wonderful place to take the angler who wants steady action, and the size of the bass is not as important as the quantity. Catching 30+ bass in an afternoon or morning should be common.
Currently, there is not a boat for members to use, but we should have one by Spring of 2024. The lake may be easily bank fished.
Our survey results did not yield any catfish or crappie.
The towns of Edom and Ben Wheeler are great. We highly recommend The Forge in Ben Wheeler for a coffee in the morning or a cold beer burger and even live music on the weekends. In Edom we recommend the Log Cabin for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Requirements
Remove all bass 14" and under at this site. Report the total number of each species removed, back to the club office through the online reservation system after your outing.
