• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Lac de la Brunante is 0.4 km off. Confirm access to Lac du Crepuscule locally before you travel.
