• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Lac Rond, 1.6 km away. Where Lac Mark-Wilson is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
