On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Outaouais include pumpkinseed, yellow perch and smallmouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Cinq lacs a la Truite should walk it once before setting up.

A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter.
