Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac de la Gelinotte a Fraise, 1.2 km away, makes the obvious fallback. For Lac du Renne Caribou, the notice at the access point is the final word.
