• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. For a change of water, Lac Beauclerc is 1.9 km distant. Confirm access to Lac de la Limite locally before you travel.
