  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Lac Landry is 1.6 km off. Nothing on Lac de la Cache-Quatre should be assumed from this page alone.
