Read Lac Andresy before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Lac Vacca at 1.2 km is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Lac Andresy before loading the car.
