• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Lac de l'Orignal is 1 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Biron for certain.
