At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Work Lac Egerie in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Lac Vebre, 1.6 km away. For Lac Egerie, the notice at the access point is the final word.
