• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Lac Kawisaskopek at 2 km is the nearest alternative.
