• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Lac Oba at 1.2 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Lac Aigrefeuille should be assumed from this page alone.
