• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lac des Mocassins, 0.8 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Beau for certain.
