• Tackle & Baits

Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Lord at 2.5 km is the sensible second choice. For Lac an Eugene, the notice at the access point is the final word.
