• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Lac Pratt sits 2 km off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Lac Ewing locally before you travel.
