• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Lac Massue at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Lac a la Grosse should be assumed from this page alone.
