• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Lac Maraude is 5 km off. For Lac Guyonneau, the notice at the access point is the final word.
