• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac des Trois Triangles sits 4 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Grand lac Caotibi should be assumed from this page alone.
