• Tackle & Baits

For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Lac Squamish is 1.3 km distant. Nothing here settles the position at Lac des Armoises for certain.
