• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Lac Chineseu at 9.2 km is the nearest alternative.
