• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Lac Gueron, 1.8 km out. Check the current arrangement for Lac Cromac.
