• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Lac du Traquet, 0.7 km out. Nothing on Lac des Roselins should be assumed from this page alone.
