The zone boasts 21 scenic lakes, 17 trophy-producing reservoirs and one nutrient-rich bay where Largemouth Bass, Catfish, and other popular gamefish thrive in healthy populations throughout the season.
This zone's proximity to multiple water types means anglers can plan multi-day trips targeting different species each day.
