• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Lac au Vison sits 1.9 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Lac du Sommet.
