• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. 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. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Lac du Pluvier, 0.9 km out. Signs at Lac du Pouillot carry more weight than any list.
