• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. The nearest alternative is Lac Ouellette, 0.6 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Lac des Jumeaux for certain.
