County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Lac au Persil fishes better once you know its edges.

The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It holds true on Lac au Persil more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Oudiette, 1.5 km away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Lac au Persil may have changed since it was mapped.
