• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Lac Ewans is 0.4 km distant. Check the position on Lac Caron before loading the car.
