• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac Arbalete sits 1.1 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Lac Bronson is worth confirming on the day.
