• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Lac des Conscrits, 0.6 km out. Where Deuxieme lac des Conscrits is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
