• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Reservoir aux Outardes 4 is 22 km distant. For Lac De La Blache in particular, ask before you travel.
