The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Lac Bernetz that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Lac Ouesianne, 1.7 km away.
