• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Lac en Foin, 0.9 km away. For Lac Annie, the notice at the access point is the final word.
