  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. 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 stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lac d'Apia sits 0.3 km off and takes the overflow. Treat access at Lac de la Coulee as something to verify.
