• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Lac Joullin, 2.9 km out. Ask locally about Lac Danneville if anything is unclear.
