There are a couple of lakes to the northeast I think they are called upper and lower Glaston lakes...I've never fished them before but I've hunted in the area a few times and have always been intrigued.  one of them supposedly has Tiger Muskie in it...good luck.

Who did you inquire with???  I just read that the lower lake should be public but I'm not confident about the source...

Both are private. Bigtimber boating club has access on lower. I believe you have to be a member to fish it.  from what I've heard the fishing isn't that great. A call to Fwp could clear up the public access ?

  Pretty tough around here.  Dailey, Cooney, Martinsdale, Bair, Sutherlin, Newlan, CF.  Nothing very close thats really worth fishing.  Glasston (both upper and lower) are on private land.  The boat club does have an access to lower for club members, but fish (other than suckers) are few and far between in my limited experience.
