• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Lac Francis is 2.7 km distant. None of that is settled for Lac Lise in what we hold.
