• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. 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. If the gate is shut, Lac Travers at 0.9 km is the nearest alternative. Rules at Lac de la Viorne are worth checking on the day.
