Ladders East of Oak Orchard

[Drifter23]

Exactly what would I be looking for when searching for the reference point called the ladders east of Oak Orchard? I had heard it was a haven for smallmouth bass in the past. Thanks for any info on this.

I can't confirm the SM haven, but the ladders are just East of the chute. You will see small bluffs with ladders on them to get down to the lake.

I have caught a few Smallies over the years there. They are about a 1/2 mile east as Yankee stated , off the Bluffs. Nice  15' hole there & it drops from 25 - 90' fairly Quickly. Good place for Staging kings on the bottom .Seldon Beebe caught his spring  ESLO winning king there. Got a nice Hydasports fishing boat out of it. Caught the fish in 15' of water on a 1/5 oz Cleo , 8# test & 5 ' ultra light 5' down on the rigger. His dad netted it & it fell through the rotted  net. They had to push the rod through the hole in the net & grabbed it by the gill to land it or so I'm told. How things change.
