• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Lac Fraser, 1.3 km out. Nothing on Lac Brule should be assumed from this page alone.
