• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Lac Comfort at 0.7 km is the nearest alternative. The position on Lac de la Lacune is worth confirming on the day.
