• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the perch, a small jig tipped with worm, dropped along the edges, is hard to beat. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Lac de l'Elan, 2.2 km away. For Lac Leonce, the notice at the access point is the final word.
