County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Lac Demodex the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Lac Rebelle, 0.8 km away.
