• Tackle & Baits

For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Lac de l'Aveline, 0.5 km away. For Lac de l'Omble, the notice at the access point is the final word.
