• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Lac Gilbert is 1.3 km distant. Confirm access to Lac Arty locally before you travel.
