• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For walleye, a jig and minnow near the bottom is the standard; evenings beat middays. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac des Marais, 0.9 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
