For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Clubhouse Lake, 2.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Roubles Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
