Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. At Lac a la Boue the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. There is camping recorded roughly 1.1 km off. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Lac Saint-Louis is 0.5 km distant. Check the position at Lac a la Boue before loading the car.
