• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Lac Corail at 1.6 km is the sensible second choice. Treat Lac Duc as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
