• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Lac a Herve-Laroche, 0.8 km away. Signs at Lac des Freres carry more weight than any list.
