• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Lac Helene, 1.4 km away. Treat access at Lac aux Quenouilles as something to verify.
