O'Brien's ramp is located just off Jackson County 36 at Statts Mills. At first glance, Woodrum Lake looks like a bass fisherman's idea of heaven. It looks that way at second and third glances, too. Long, narrow arms reach back into hollows framed by steep-sided hills. Deep, clear water floods the slender coves.
Sunken trees are everywhere.
Well, maybe the fact that Woodrum's bass aren't always as cooperative as anglers would like. Because the water is so clear, the bass often go deep. Getting to them amid all that timber can be pretty difficult. Even though potential snags are everywhere, Morrison recommends using relatively light line and small, finesse-type lures. Woodrum is located off Jackson County 19 just east of Kentuck.
