• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Lac aux Otaries at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. For Lac Kanico Sakiwok, the notice at the access point is the final word.
