• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Duchesnay Lake at 1.9 km is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for Upper Pinewater Lake.
