  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Lac Cabu, 0.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback.
