  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Lac de la Loutre at 0.8 km is the nearest alternative.
