• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Lac Henrietta, 19 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
