May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Lac Avisse runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac des Selagines is 0.9 km distant. Where Lac Avisse is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
