• Tackle & Baits

Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Sort the permit out before you load the car. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lac Cosse, 1.1 km away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Lac de la Glissee de Loutre in what we hold.
