• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Lac Karina, 1.2 km away. Treat Lac Judith as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
