• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Lac des Fourches at 4.2 km is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Lac en Coeur should be assumed from this page alone.
