• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac Gabarit at 0.3 km is the sensible second choice. For Lac de la Saisie, the notice at the access point is the final word.
